December 17th, 2009</p>
<p>With Flora&#8217;s effervescent staff a night of bubbles seems somewhat redundant….never the less…</p>
<p>Flora honors the discovery of Dom Perignon so many years ago. The legend says that when he first tasted champagne he announced loudly &#8220;come my brothers for I am drinking stars&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the season of joy and we have so much good cheer. The evening will feature a wide selection of champagnes and sparkling wines.</p>
<p>Our sparkling selection from around the globe will pair with each course, and we&#8217;ll taste why almost any dish deserves celebration!</p>
