Our new tradition in #ThisRuffHouse<\/a> is to host a fancy Friendsmas dinner party complete with overdressed guests, a beef Wellington, and tons of Champagne to wash it down. It has become a festive tradition where we can raise a glass of the finest bubbles, nosh on some tasty tidbits, and enjoy the holidays<\/a> with good friends for a truly special night in. We set up a beautiful Champagne dinner party to enjoy our favorite Champagne Taittinger<\/a>\u00a0in style. Here\u2019s how to set the right ambiance at home to host your own fancy champagne dinner party.<\/p>\n

How to Host a Champagne Dinner Party at Home<\/h2>\n

Tip One: Dress it up<\/h3>\n
\"Dinner
Ask guests to dress up for a Champagne dinner party and let everyone get fancy for an evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re going to do a champagne dinner party, make it really special. Provide a unique experience and make sure everyone is ready to participate. Our friends always look for a way to wear a grandmother\u2019s fur or their velvet blazer, so give them that excuse by making your dinner a jackets and formal-wear required event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip Two: Get moody<\/h3>\n

Set the mood to match. We load the table up with candles and dim the lights<\/strong> to channel a swanky NYC-style bar for our f\u00eate.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Tip Three: Use the good glassware<\/h3>\n

Gather the proper equipment like\u00a0champagne coupes<\/a>\u00a0(better for letting the aromas of the wine develop once poured) and\u00a0a chilled champagne bucket<\/a>. You don\u2019t have to spend a fortune on these items; you can typically find great quality (and highly stylish) versions on secondhand sites\u00a0or at estate sales.<\/p>\n

Tip Four: Spotlight on Champagne<\/h3>\n

Make champagne the focal point d\u00e9cor of the evening with a special place that highlights that evening\u2019s featured bottle. We set up this bar car<\/strong> adjacent to the dining table so that guests could see what was being poured for the evening. It also became a great place to store the empty bottles when we were finished.<\/p>\n

\"Bar
Keep the focus on what you’re drinking by spotlighting it, such as in a bar cart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tip Five: Choose the right food pairings<\/h3>\n

Serve a full champagne dinner with ritzy dishes like Beef Wellington and macarons, chicken cordon bleu and tiramisu, or go all out with caviar<\/a>\u00a0and cream puffs.<\/p>\n

Tip Six: Work your way down<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re featuring a few varieties of champagne, start with the nicest bottle first<\/strong> and work your way down. This way your taste buds are the freshest and most receptive to the delicate flavors you will find in a Grand Cru or reserve bottle of Tiattinger. As you continue to drink, your taste buds slow down a little bit and prohibit you to taste the finer elements in each bottle.<\/p>\n

The right environment mixed with the right champagne can turn a regular dinner party into a fancy champagne banquet in a flash. We can always rely on Taittinger to wow our guests during the evening and create special, memorable moments at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
