Wine with Meg + Mel

Mel was upset that Meg didn't love Mumm champagne as much as she does, so she enlisted the help of Champange Ambassador Manu de Madreto help plead the case.

And as the champagnes are too limited to buy in most stores, Manu is giving listeners exclusive access to the friends & family website to buy them! DM your email to our instagram @winewithmegandmel to get on the list!

What Manu is drinking:  2018 Passopisciaro Etna Rosso

Champagne tasted:

• RSRV Blanc de Noirs 
• RSRV Rose 
• RSRV LaLou
