But we could always finish it on New Years Day by making mimosas. I think we will hang onto that Ruinart until sometime when we have a dinner party at home.
I've tried the expensive stuff but I'm still perfectly happy with Veuve Clicquot most of the time.

Me too! My local Target had Veuve on sale for $30.99 a while back ($12 cheaper than Costco and most sales I've seen this Christmas) - I think I bought 14 bottles and took orders from friends. Plus an additional 5% off with my Red card.
My partner just texted me that his colleagues gave him two bottles of Piper demi-sec. Yay!
