How to Open Champagne: Jacques Pepin vs Leslie Sbrocco
Happy New Year! Here are two culinary experts sharing radically different approaches to opening a bottle of champagne. Both techniques are excellent skills to cultivate and can be used depending on the mood of the party.
First up is Jacques Pépin, the classic chef and teacher who’s new series, Essential Pépin is currently airing on KQED and can be watched online. This technique clip was filmed during the taping of the show and includes Jacques’ tips on pouring sparkling wine.
Next up is the vivacious and a bit more dramatic Leslie Sbrocco, host of Check, Please! Bay Area. Leslie shares one of her favorite party tricks that she originally demoed a few years back on the Josh Kornbluth show.
* Note: Do not attempt this technique while intoxicated.
