Well, it wasn't really champagne. I don't even know what it was. But sometimes when you're craving sparkling wine you gotta just go for it, regardless of the venue. After waiting in the sweaty cluster of people around the bar at Kelly's Tavern on Fillmore, I was definitely ready for a cold glass o' bubbly. But there was one important question (second only to "Do you have sparkling wine") I had to ask before committing: Do you have a chilled, fresh (ie. unopened) bottle? And the answer was yes. Well, actually he didn't answer me. He just went ahead and poured it. But that was just fine, because I would have ordered it anyway, it wasn't Korbel (which I'm sick of), and I liked it!
So, if you're craving something, just go for it! It doesn't matter if the setting seems appropriate or not. If you want a Gewurtztraminer at a steak house, do it! If you want a Port with your entree, do it! And if I want some unnamed sparkling wine at a sweaty dive bar, I'm going to!
