It’s the most boozy day of the year! No, we’re not talking about Christmas dinner at your aunt’s place with all your obnoxious relatives – were talking about St. Patrick’s Day! A day full of green beer and people decked out in shamrock accessories from the dollar store. 😆 While we’re not huge beer drinkers ourselves, we do love our drinks bubbly! So we’ve come up with a lighter (and naturally green) way to enjoy St. Paddy’s Day – our Sham’rosa! (Or… Shamrock Mimosa – get it?) 😜🍀
That’s right! There’s more to Canada than maple syrup, polar bears and a hunky Prime Minister!

This is “POP or FLOP”, where we taste test sparkling wines so you don’t have to! This week we’ve got Château des Charmes Brut Sparkling in our flutes!
