Day 188- Sabred bubbly


7 July 2011- We went to a wine launch night- 4 or 5 wines from a winery, including the latest release, matched with food. The last wine, served with the cheese, was a fabulous (in my opinion, Greg is not such a fan) sparkling shiraz. The owner of the restaurant has recently obtained a champagne saber, and sabred this bottle. The officers in Napoleons army used to open their champagne by slicing the cork off with a saber.
