For the Champagne, recommend Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Yellow Label (non-vintage), at about $35 for a 750 ml bottle or about $20 for a 375 ml half-bottle. And tell her the story of the wine: how a young woman of 26 found herself widowed in 1805 by the sudden death of her husband, who had founded a small winery in the Champagne district. She decided to continue the enterprise as the means to support herself, and developed a world-class Champagne house whose wines became the favorite of the Russian royal family. Although now controlled by the French conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moet-Hennessy (LVMH), the Widow ("Veuve") Clicquot's Champagnes are still highly-regarded, especially among the ladies, for their lively effervescence and faintly sweet taste.

I'm counting on the other board members to correct any inaccuracies in my little history lesson.

Congrats, and best wishes, from deep in the heart of Bush Country.
