Me: What'll you have to drink?
She: I don't know. I do know whenever I drink champagne I want to take off my clothes.
Bartender: I'm sorry madam. We're out of everything but champagne.
Years ago 'Billy' was my go to rose champagne. At $45 in a wine store and $90 in a bar, it was tremendous value for the money. Today, you'll pay between $75 and $85 retail. Still, I think it's a great value...with the understanding: You do not drink it by yourself.
NV Billecart Salmon Rose is as close to vintage Louise Rose as you can get without paying upwards of $250. It is clean and bright and it tastes like sex. Roll it in your mouth and feel the cold escape while the bubbles break warm over your tongue. A fat plop of triple cream cheese on crusty French bread is perfect before dinner. Do this right and there shouldn't be any dinner.
I need a cold shower. I usually run a non-alcoholic beverage with a beltless trouser but Avery Lucas designed this canvas pant for me. It's rustic in that it's canvas fabric but the cut is dressy. The leg tapers from the knee to a 8" wide opening and while I'm not crazy about the pockets -- they're growing on me.
Avery included a button fly which, many will tell you, helps with the line of the pant. I can't tell the difference. I do know that if things are going well with the champagne -- a button fly will slow you down. Not that that's a bad thing.

Are you crazy. One could live on the stuff. De Gaulle as was often the case had the last word on the subject "How does one govern a nation with 350 different cheeses."
Tintin: I'm like Danilo in The Merry Widow, I like to swim in pink champagne. I've never tried the Billecart but after this build up I'll go in search of a bottle.
Hilarious
Glad you mentioned the 8 inch leg opening...I have spent a fortune at the tailor having trousers tapered....why do the retailers keep putting the freakin' quasi bell bottoms out there...??
Billecarte-Salmon is a favorite, reminds me to lay in a fresh supply! An alternative companion might be a few fresh oysters or a cooked lobster, cold . . . mmmmm!
Tintin: Some things are better left in your memories.
What a great posting, and thank you for the heads-up about this rose Champagne. Will add it to my "must stock-up on" list.
