Champagne Taste

Restaurant Bruno Jamais threw its doors open for the U.S. debut of Henri Giraud earlier tonight. The entire range was available for sampling, from six different cuvées in all. Oenophiles sipped the maker's miel not from flutes, but from wide-mouth wine glasses. This was not, as one might have guessed, because Bruno ran out of suitable stemware. Instead, Henri Giraud believes that for the breathability of its Champagnes, the wider mouth is the way to go. Judging from the smiles on the faces of tasters, there were no dissenters in the room.
