It has been a long, stressful political campaign season and an excruciating few days—and no matter which candidate you supported, it feels like we’re all ready to celebrate the closing of a difficult chapter in American history.
This morning, Joe Biden—who more than 71 percent of L.A. voters cast ballots for—was declared President-elect.
To mark the occasion, we reached out to Coly Den Haan of Vinovore for some picks of sparkling wine–all produced in states that voted for Joe Biden. Hopefully, as a country, we can all enjoy a moment to take a deep breath, unclench our jaws, and prepare for any challenges in the days to come.
