With December 25 just two
short weeks away, you've likely already attended a Christmas party. But if
you've yet to host a holiday meet 'n greet, first ensure you have the mechanics
for proper merry-making.
Before Christmas Eve
tenderloin, my family toasts with champagne. At a recent Sunday brunch, the
stemless glass in which my mimosa (read: straight brut) arrived turned me on to
a more modern possibility in drinkware, and I plan to incorporate that inspiration
into our approaching aperitif.

Of course, entertaining
authority Crate & Barrel has the desired design. The Verve is contemporary, as the one captured above, but
light-years swankier.
The clean, kingly
silhouette tapers softly into a uniquely chunky base. Its deviation from
flutes' typically skinny stem is the appeal, but handmade, finely-cut glass
still whispers of the delicacy that defines sparkling wine. Appropriately,
sealed-in bubbles exude energy, mirroring the mood the drink induces.

If I'm this giddy about the empty glass, I expect my delight will overflow once the flute's filled with a bubbly beverage. 'Tis
the season!
