What rings in the New Year better than a splendid champagne and some fine caviar? We started our celebrations with this delicious little appetizer thoughtfully prepared by Barnaby. Little 1.5"rounds of buttermilk bread (a fine substitution for blini) were cut out and toasted.

He then pulled out his grandparents' Bohemian Czech cut-crystal wine glasses and filled them with Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rosé Sauvage champagne. Purrrr...
Cheers to 2008!
