It’s that magical time of year when the lights twinkle, the relatives bicker, and the bottles pop. On this special holiday edition of WWD, Dan kicks things off by diving into the surprisingly chaotic history of sparkling wine — a tale involving accidental bubbles, chilly French cellars, and a certain monk named Dom Pérignon. Then it’s time to bring in reinforcements. WWD’s Official Roving Correspondent, Brad Japhe, joins Dan in-studio for a festive tasting flight. Together they work through three standout bubblies perfect for any holiday table or New Year’s Eve countdown: the bright, fruit-forward sparkle of Campo Viejo, the elegant California craftsmanship of Paula Kornell, and the crisp, celebratory pop of Kendall-Jackson’s varietal-driven Brut.
Expect tasting notes, unexpected tangents, a couple of minor disagreements about mousse quality, and at least one moment where Dan tries to convince Brad he can absolutely taste “holiday spirit” in a glass. Whether you’re hosting, toasting, or simply trying to survive your in-laws, this episode has the bubbles you need. Fizz responsibly.
