Let’s raise a glass to Karen G. of Baltimore, Md., grand-prize winner of the KORBEL Champagne Brunch Girls Getaway Contest. Not only is she celebrating a milestone birthday this year, but she gets to do so in style with KORBEL California Champagne!

Thanks to her winning toast, Karen and five girlfriends will be flown to Sonoma County, Calif., for four days of V.I.P. extravagance at the Korbel Winery. Here is Karen’s winning toast:

We started our toast in life in 1965, and the toast continues 50 years later! These are my "sisters of love.” We met in elementary school, and we have never wavered in our love for each other through the bad, the ugly and, of course, the good times. We have such a God-given gift to be blessed with this sisterhood. KORBEL, we are the representation of toasting to life as we all celebrate our 50th birthdays this year!

Choosing just one winning toast among all of the amazing entries was a challenge. We were touched to see so many beautiful friendships among KORBEL drinkers. You can read all of the entries at www.korbel.com/girls.
