Song of the Champagne Witches: “Bubble, bubble toast and trouble”
By Regine Rousseau, shamelessly inspired by William Shakespeare (Macbeth). Forgive me English Lit Professors. Bubble, bubble toast and trouble;
Yeast and sugar added to bubble.
Wines of a vintage past,
In the bottle-crown- ferment;
Riddle me this riddle me that,
When will she pop the cap.
Juniper raspberry notes and honey bee-sting.
Oh the joy this bubble will bring.
“For a charm of powerful trouble,”
Like a heaven-broth, oh delicious bubble.
Bubble, bubble toast and trouble;
Yeast and sugar added to bubble.
Age with a Couche hand,
Then the wine is “firm and good.”
