Champagne Dressing

Years ago there was a fabulous restaurant in Lexington, Ky, owned by Stanley Demos. Yes, the Couch House on Broadway. Stanley made the most heavenly Champagne Dressing and you could even purchase it at the grocery. You can buy it on line now, but it doesn't taste the same to me. Well things change and I have a new favorite Champagne Dressing that I would like to share with you.

Use this for Avocado-Shrimp Boats or simply over Bibb Lettuce or anything in between.
