For Groundhog Day I put a bottle of champagne outside my front porch and I saw its shadow so we drank it.
Also, technically the champagne was a Crémant de Bourgogne and it was delicious.

I didn’t know this about the champagne shadow on groundhog day, why didn’t you tell me?

I didn’t know what a great idea it was until I did it – I am spreading the news BEFORE next year

I am SO doing this next year… I mean you can always rely on champagne, but not groundhogs

What excuse some people use just to drink champagne. This one beats them all
