On Wednesday December 6th I had the pleasure of attending one of many Mandarin Oriental Atlanta Events. “Bountiful Bubbles” was a 5-course seasonal dinner paired with Veuve Clicquot Champagnes. Brand Ambassador Lauren Wilenski brought her expertise and delicious champagnes from the Veuve Clicquot Champagne House to the Mandarin Oriental Atlanta for this spectacular event.

Before I get into the details of the dinner, I thought I would share some of the history of one the world’s best-known champagnes. “Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin” was founded in 1772 in Reims, France. (I accomplished my bucket list of visiting Reims, France in September and will be sharing my experience on that soon!)

Phillipe Clicquot-Muiron established the original Veuve Clicquot Champagne House. His son Francois’ widow-Madame Clicquot-inherited the company. Do you know what widow is in French? Veuve 🙂 By the time of her passing in 1866, Veuve Clicquot Champagne House had achieved great success all over Europe. That has continued into today with its distinct luxury brand.

Experiencing the Mandarin Oriental Atlanta

The atmosphere and décor for the “Bountiful Bubbles” Veuve Clicquot event was very sophisticated. I expected nothing less at a Mandarin Oriental Atlanta Event. During the reception, guests enjoyed a cold glass of Veuve Clicquot Brut Champagne paired with Foie Gras Terrine Canape. One of the many things I learned during the evening was how important it is to serve champagne cold! The ideal temperature to serve champagne is 45 degrees F.

Such beautiful and festive decor!

Although I have been to countless wine and food pairings, this was my first champagne and food pairing dinner. It was also the first time that I sampled  several varieties of Veuve Clicquot champagne. I think most people are familiar with the yellow label Brut selection. However, they are actually credited with being the first champagne house to create rose´ champagne! I think I have a new favorite-the Demi-Sec! Feast your eyes on the following five courses and get inspired to not only serve Veuve Clicquot Champagne at your next dinner but also attend Mandarin Oriental Atlanta Events! Information is available below on the next event!

  • This is Vik Iceland 🇮🇸!!! Have you been here? 
Do you normally chase the deal or destination? I normally chase the destination but this time I chased @delta deal to Iceland. I didn’t even know if I would have anyone to go with. In the end 2 woman from a travel I’m in went but I hung out on my own for most of the trip. 

I ❤️ Black sanded beaches! Besides this one I have been to them In Santorini Greece 🇬🇷 and Maui Hawaii 🌸 How about you? 

One of the reasons I posted this is to show Black women are adventurous! Including Black women over 50!!! I booked this tour the night before, got up at 6am and jumped on a tour bus solo. Because seeing this beach was on my bucket list for Iceland. It did not disappoint! 

Do you recognize this beach from a TV show?!!

  • Happy Monday!!! The answer is ZERO!! I love this trend because it speaks to me. Even when I haven’t been fond of a destination, I never regret the trip. I always learn something new about the place and about myself. It’s called growth. 

How about you?!

To celebrate Black History Month, we
  • In my last reel I gave you a long list of foods you should try in Turkiye. Now I’m suggesting the drinks you should try! 

Have you ever had Turkish coffee ☕️? Whew it’s strong! Head to my new blog post “Your Guide to Turkish Food” to find out why-the link is in my stories or thesophisticatedlife.com 

My favorite Turkish drinks-
Turkish tea 🫖 I drank it a few times a day and brought canisters home for me and as a gift 
Salep-thick sweet goodness-but this drink has an interesting history and current dilemma. Read why 
Sherbet-NOT dessert! a refreshing herbal, slightly fruity drink. Not sweet
AND of course I tried Turkish wine 🍷 mostly red blends and dry white wines. 

Have you been to Istanbul or Turkiye? Have you had any of these? Let me know what you think of my blog post!

  • I am so incredibly proud of @marty_sandiego 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I met Martinique Lewis years ago before we both found ourselves as co-founders of @theblacktravelalliance where she currently serves as President. She is also the founder of @abctravelgreenbook among other amazing things. This TV show was meant for her!! Please share this post & watch the show on February 6th!!
