As group sommelier for the Tsogo Sun Hotels he\u2019s suggested and served some of South Africa\u2019s and the world\u2019s most notable bubbly. Here he shares his top 5 reasons why bubbly drinkers make the best friends!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wineshow.co.za\/tickets\/\"><strong>Buy your tickets to the TOPS at SPAR Wine Show!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Life is all about having fun \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bubbly BFFs love to party. And by party it means dancing like no-one is watching and singing at the top of your voice. Unashamedly, over-the-top, one-of-a kind. A bubbly BFF knows not to take herself too seriously and can easily let her hair down.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Strike a pose<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You know you\u2019ve found your BFF soulmate when you find out she is just as snap-happy as you are. Not only are you both self-professed selfie pouters but you share an addiction for snapchat. Your BFF even knows exactly which bubbly champagne snapchat filter captures your best Vogue moment. The point is to be the envy of your social media followers. After all it\u2019s not easy being effortlessly chic and the life of the party at the same time!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>All day all night, bubbly is always on\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If not, why not? Bubbly is delicious with waffles, peach compote and fluffy whipped cream on a Sunday morning, or oysters with a tangy vinegar-shallot mignonette, plus a Champagne-infused foam and frozen Champagne grapes for lunch \u2013 yum! And dinner, maybe a beautiful beet risotto or Champagne infused pan-seared scallops? Getting the pairing right doesn\u2019t need to be a science, just ensure what you eat is as classy as the drink itself.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shares your obsession with all things sparkly \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The quintessential fantasy shared by all bubbly BFFs are diamonds and champagne. To be more specific that\u2019s a diamond (or two or three) in a glass of very expensive French Champagne used mostly to pop a very important question. And even for your bubbly BFF, it\u2019s very hard to say no when faced with that many sparkles! At least you\u2019ll be there to console her if it all goes belly-up and she swallows the diamond before it can be put on her finger.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Will never show you up at a party<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While there is a certain etiquette that comes with drinking bubbly, your BFF will never leave you in the lurch when it comes to dressing for the occasion. There is just something very wrong with sipping on an icy cold glass of bubbly dressed in a sloppy t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. And because it\u2019s usually the girls who work in fashion, media, and entertainment, who (poor you) have to go to glamourous events every night and consume unlimited quantities of Mo\u00ebt, you better know that looking good is her number one priority.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The TOPS at SPAR Wine Show<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bubbly BFFs transcend time, are the envy of their followers and without them knowing, set the trend wherever they go. And at this year\u2019s TOPS at SPAR Wine Show, we don\u2019t expect it to be any different. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bubbly BFF\u2019s can celebrate in style with Miguel Chan as he presents bubbly in all its glory at the Caf\u00e9 Cru Sparkling Wine Bar, Montecasino from 25 \u2013 27 May 2017.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A BFF is like a glass, no make that a bottle of bubbly.
