Happy National Champagne Day! If you do not have a bottle of Champagne close by stop at your local Illinois winery and grab some sparkling wine. I will not tell.

Some local Illinois wines I recommend: Wedding Cake (Galena Cellars), Bubblin’ Blue (Prairie State Winery), Almond Sparkling Wine (Lynfred Winery) and any of the sparkling wines from Illinois Sparkling Co.
