“Do you know what Dom Pérignon said after inventing champagne? He called out to his fellow monks, 'Come quickly: I am tasting the stars.”

“What did Dom Perignon say to fellow monks after he invented champagne? ... Come quickly, I am tasting the stars.”

“He called out to his fellow monks,'Come quickly I am tasting stars.”

“I felt tears sting into my eyes, and took a deep swallow of the first champagne I had ever tasted, remembering that I had read somewhere that the monk who invented it said, on first tasting it, 'It is like drinking stars'.”

“Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!”

“Champagne was discovered by a Catholic monk," said Bernard. "Took one swallow and burst out of his cellar yelling, 'I'm drinking stars, I'm drinking stars!' Tequila was invented by a bunch of brooding Indians. Into human sacrifice and pyramids. Somewhere between champagne and tequila is the secret history of Mexico, just as somewhere between beef jerky and Hostess Twinkies is the secret history of America. Or aren't you in the mood for epigrams?”
