    @MaltedTea , sure you can borrow him! But fair warning, while he has decent knowledge on Bourbon he is a loud phone/video conference call talker. So if you’re sharing the same WFH space be warned that you’ll be distracted. So I guess...

    ISO some kind of invisible sound proofing bubble I can put up on my section of the dinning room table which has served as a joint WFH space. 🙂🙃

    ISO: a top tier (ideally Canadian) whiskey/bourbon

    I didn't realize there was such a thing as "Canadian Bourbon". Where is our MFP bourbon expert?

    Do not listen to anything I say about alcohol. I really only started getting into it since the pandemic started (let's not dwell on this, moving on).

    I know zilch about any of it and apparently still have MUCH to learn about bourbon and whiskey...which is also...rye?! Speaking of which...

    Hard pass but no thanks 🤣 I'm distracted by imaginary dust 🤷🏿‍♀️ Any other tutors out there for me?

    Or is that solely for other conversation?

    Technically you cannot get a Canadian bourbon because in order to be bourbon is HAS to be made in Kentucky. Kinda like how really champagne is only real champagne if it’s from the Champagne region in France. Canadian whiskey is rye.

    But I’m just going off the info from my Bourbon snob SO. His go to is Knobb Creek or Bullet, his fancy is Single Barrel Four Roses or Blantons. We live in Canada and can get all here...or at least could. I’m sure others will know WAY more than I.

    I beg to differ on the champagne argument. Dom Perignon is produce in Hautville in Northern France, although technically in the champagne region it is a grey area; and is the absolute dom of champagne. Yes I said dom and not don because it makes me its *kitten*. Sigh. Lightweight here.

    I thought it was only champagne if it came from France period? Everything else is sparkling wine?

    Yes you are correct - if produced in France it is Champagne. The OP suggested it was narrowed down further to just the Champagne region (no disrespect towards OP intended here), which could potentially discount Dom Perignon and that just won't do.

    I didn’t know that, perhaps Dom has been fighting for recognition as true Champagne and thus has influenced the world in where champagne comes from. I’m really not that posh, but once before I knew better I made a mimosa with Don 😬. If it’s from Italy it’s called Prosecco, right?.

    You can add any type of bubble to gasoline and paint thinner for a little extra pep @Reckoner69_lmao and @sweet_ermengarde 😜

    Prosecco is Italian sparkling wine, true. LOL @ Dom fighting for recognition as a true champagne. Honestly you have me giggling so hard at my desk my coworkers think I'm already drinking.

    Eh... drink what you like whether is Dom or Don... it doesn't matter if champagne or prosecco or sparkling wine.... If you like it in your mimosa, cheers.

    I'm with @GymGoddessGoals in that if it goes in a mimosa it's all good. I was being pedantic because I spent £35 on a glass of Dom once and I'll be dammed if it isn't Champagne at that price 😑
