ENDURING EFFERVESCENCE D E V O U R

By Roger Grody

No product conveys the very essence of luxury like Champagne, and its farreaching cultural adoptions range from Formula One to the World Series—and from James Bond to P. Diddy.

C

hampagne is a timeless metaphor for luxury, and connoisseurs have

always had a fascination with the most iconic labels, from elegant Dom Pérignon to hard-partying Cristal. Nothing speaks to the gravity of an occasion like Champagne, and an exploration of the world’s most coveted bottles can be a worthy lifelong pursuit.

Sophie Gayot leads a team of food, travel, and lifestyle writers at GAYOT.com, originally launched by her father, prominent French publisher André Gayot, and her brother Alain. Offering insights on the glamorous sparkling beverage, she says, “Champagne only comes from France, which is considered the most luxurious country, reflected in fashion, art, and cuisine.” The journalist, whose website features extensive wine content, adds, “Champagne has a connotation of festivity and its bubbles bring something different to the table.”

Kimberly Boyle of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties offers Tahoe City expertise. “Tahoe City is all about outdoor recreation with the whole family. Boating, kayaking, beach days, hiking, biking, and al fresco dining are just some of the attractions you’ll find on any summer day.” She enjoys the weekly concert series at Common’s Beach. “I love bringing all the fixings for a picnic during the concert. A great event for families.”

Boyle recommends the Tahoe City Farmers Market on Commons Beach

and the the Tahoe City Food and Wine Classic, where guests can sample local restaurants. Sunset cruises on the Tahoe Gal, chartering a boat, wakesurfing, and appreciating the public beaches and trails are among her suggestions as well.

Tahoe.

“A variety of indoor/outdoor dining with fantastic organic food is available, and a wonderful Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays in the summer months,” she says. “The integrated bike paths are fabulous.

Truckee Thursdays is a big hit. The Old Town area is closed off and there are so many vendors—jewelry, food, beverages, live entertainment—it’s very popular.”

Truckee offers a myriad of ways to get active in the summer. “Northstar has a great outdoor adventure course and an amazing downhill biking adventure for all levels. Palisades offers rock climbing, Granlibakken offers zip-lining. Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe offer boat and jet ski rentals.”

Elder personally loves a 20-mile ride along the Truckee River on the Legacy Trail, breakfast at Squeeze Inn, a private boat ride on Lake Tahoe, and enjoying the sunset from a private pier at Donner Lake.
