Still in deep deadline mode, but wanted to share a bit of ‘research’ I’ve been doing for a piece I’m working on for basil + salt magazine, slated for publication in early 2018…I’ve included the producer names with the images in case you want to try these on your own at home before you read my article…so many bubbles, so little time…May your holidays be cozy, bright – and full of bubbles!

Cheers!
