sabering
Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis invites you to share in the celebration
of life through her unique expression of joy - sabering a bottle
of champagne. In times of triumph, Napolean's gallant soldiers opened
champagne with a strong blow from their swords. Today, Catherine
continues this dramatic tradition, delighting guests with her thrilling,
festive, and safe technique. A hush falls over the crowd as she
dons her gloves and draws her saber. She inhales deeply, preparing
for the task before her. She lifts the bottle high, and, with a
few strokes, sends the cork soaring into the air. Glasses are filled,
and your joyous occasion is off to a great start.
"Panache
doesn't begin to describe the sight of Catherine Fallis sabering
a bottle of Champagne. She steps forward in a black evening gown
sliced thigh-high, her face framed by cool black shades, her chestnut
mane sweeping across her milky shoulders. She dons a pair of python-patterned
opera gloves. She draws the black-handled saber, inhales and then
lifts the Champagne skyward. A few quick strokes of the blade sever
the neck and cork from the bottle, and they sail serenely away."
