| The first saber of the day, Billecart-Salmon Extra Brut NV in magnum |
The gorgeous weather for the beginning of fall this month inspired me to bring everyone to the beach for a mid september birthday celebration. I figured if I'm turning 30 I might as well make it that much more ridiculous and get everyone together on the idea of bringing magnums instead of normal format wine bottles. Hey, we are already illegally drinking on the beach so lets just say fuck it and start sabering some big ass bottles of champy.
The beach was Fort Tilden, an old military base, now hidden gem for beaches in New York City. You really don't feel like you are just minutes from Brooklyn and New York.

| Liz Nicholson, Sommelier at Marea NYC, came in with the heavy hitter magnum of 2009 Leflaive ''Les Folatieres". First opened it was big, with strong fruit and oak present, but quickly morphed after we let it open up for a couple of hours into a much more mineral driven long drinking chardonnay. Great stuff (And thanks to the police for the help). |

| Will Edwards of Elan, NYC with a sick magnum of Madiran 1996, made from 100% Tannat, delicious. |
