We can’t think of anyone more deserving to celebrate with in style, and what’s more stylish than popping a cork to toast the woman we call Mom? Pick up one of these just in time for Mother’s Day May 12. —Catherine Dunwoody
Splurgy yes, but this for Mom after all. Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2015 is a nod to Madame Clicquot herself, whose nickname “La Grande Dame de la Champagne” inspired this and marks the 24th vintage since 1972, when Veuve Clicquot launched its first prestige cuvée to celebrate the House’s bicentenary. The label and packaging are a collaboration with Italian designer Paola Paronetto, who’s created six different gift boxes in a variety of colours, that make this champagne gift very special indeed. Complex with a decided minerality and light floral notes of jasmine and acacia plus fruity pear and clementine.
We love our B.C. bubble, and Blasted Church OMG is very nice indeed. Toasty, hits of citrus, green apple and perfect with brunch or charcuterie. Visit the winery for complimentary tastings just for Mom on May 11 and 12.
Haywire Pink Bub is named after winery owner Christine Coletta’s daughter Alison and is made from 55 per cent B.C. Pinot Noir and 45 per cent Chardonnay. Bring over a soft cheese plate and some fresh oysters as well to Mom’s and voila—you have a party. Mother’s Day weekend at Haywire offers rosé and waffles on Sunday, May 12.
Moët & Chandon Rosé Imperial is a classic French champagne, so glam, so gorgeous with its red fruit notes, and wait—is that a titch of rose and pepper at the end? Mom will love it and you for thinking of her.
Garnet Valley Ranch Traditional Method Sparkling is a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, resulting in a delicious bubble from the Okanagan.
Saintly—The Good Sparkling Rosé is refreshing with hits of strawberry, grapefruit, and subtle floral notes. Pairs with everything, including a bubble bath when Mom needs some me-time.
Cedar Creek Platinum Jagged Rock Sparkling Rosé has delicate floral notes that dance with strawberry and cherry hints that results in a luxurious, creamy bubble.
Veuve Clicquot Rosé is a classic French champagne that Mom may well love already, so the rosé version seems like the perfect elevated gift if she’s not tried it. The brand has partnered with Provence Marinaside in Yaletown to offer a special Veuve Clicquot “In the Sun” terrasse experience which features a Boursin omelet paired with Veuve Clicquot Rosé (by the glass or by the bottle) for Mother’s Day.
