Some friends invited me to dinner, and I cheerfully offered up a recent gift. "Hey, I have a bottle of Dom Pérignon here. I'll bring that."
And thus did I pack four champagne flutes and a bottle of Dom and head to my friends' house. It would be them, me, and another friend of theirs. When the time came to pop the cork, I took the bottle outside on the deck and fired the cork to the heavens. Some foam seeped out the top of the bottle, at which point the friend grabbed the Dom from my hand and put her mouth on the $150 bottle of champagne, slurping the foam.
