Since it's the end of the year, I'm nursing a hangover from too many holiday parties, and I'm just downright lazy at this time of year, here are a couple of posts from '07 that could be helpful tonight.

The first is a guide to buying and serving champagne, and you can read it here.

The second is a how-to on opening the bottle. It'll keep you from taking an eye out, or wasting half the bubbly. That post is here.

Enjoy the New Year. And look for tips on curing your hangover tomorrow.
