POMMERY POP PINK CHAMPAGNE
These little pink bottles are the crème de la crème on the French Riviera and proving equally popular at desert pool parties. It might be the twisty straw. ($55/four pack, Clementine Gourmet Marketplace & Café, Palm Desert)
MÖET & CHANDON IMPERIAL OR NECTAR IMPERIAL
A variety pack never looked so chic. In this sampling of Möet & Chandon Imperial Champagnes, the Nectar surprises most, while the original has that crisp bouquet of apples and honey. ($30/$35, Clementine Gourmet Marketplace & Café)
