Back in New York, Rilee, my friend Sean's dog, guards my stash of over 40 pounds of pate, chocolate fondue, salt, mustard and jam that weighed down my suitcases through London and New York. One of my favorite purchases was the neoprine covered Veuve Clicquot Champagne cover. A zipper on the side allows the enclosure to be used over and over and keeps the wine cool for 2 hours. At my monthly wine tasting last Tuesday, my friends who work for Henry Wine Group (Clicquot's local distributor) said they will be introducing them in the states soon.

FYI- The jacket did keep the Champagne cold on my picnic in Central Park.
