Sarah Goes Live with Jenny Johnson and Champy

Sarah chats Champy with founder, and TV producer/host, Jenny Johnson.

Emmy Award Winner, Jenny Johnson, dropped by Civic Kitchen & Drink last night for a Grand Opening party on the picturesque patio. Johnson brought cases of Champy, her lush new bubbly brand, to share with guests. She chatted with Mass Foodies about the central Mass restaurant scene, the vision for Champy, and her recent travels. You can catch Johnson on NESN’s Dining Playbook on Saturdays at 9 a.m. along with co-host Billy Costa. On working with Costa, Johnson told Mass Foodies, “We have a lot of fun and that crazy man keeps me pretty busy!” We were pleased to whisk her away for a few hours and watch the gorgeous sunset overlooking Westborough Country Club.
