Break Out the Champagne, Especially if it’s Drappier

Royal Wine Corp., the largest importer & distributor of kosher wines in North America announced it would import and distribute the first ever kosher cuvees from the famed Champagne Domaine. Royal Wine Corp.’s traveling winemaker Pierre Miodownick participated in the vinification of the two kosher cuvee’s, a project several years in the making. The champagne is scheduled to hit stores in time for Rosh Hashanah. The two Champagnes to be released are the “Carte-D’Or Brut” and “Carte Blanche”.
