Of course. I usually do a Champagne or Sparkling Wine to start with, move up to a big red, and then finish with a port or dessert wine. For my last dinner we started with a nice Non-Vintage Sparkling Roederer, went to a great Oregon Pinot, and then finished with a fab Oregon Dessert Wine. Fabu.
And please, don't ruin your beautiful dinner by serving Peach Chanpagne (as mentioned above). Serve a nice bottle of real Champagne or Sparkling Wine. My favs?
Cheap: Mirabelle (SW) ~$17
Moderate: Veuve Cliquot Non-Vintage (C) ~$40
Veuve Cliquot 1999 (C) ~$50-60

Schramsberg Brut Rose (SW) ~$30
Expensive: J Schram (SW) ~$65+
J Schram Rose (SW) ~$100+
Pommery Louise (C) Not sure of price
Veuve Cliquot 1999 Rose (C) ~$65
(C) = Champagne
(SW) = Sparkling Wine
As far as this "mixing drinks" other are talking about - it's hooey. Champagne is wine that's been fermented again and the CO2 has been trapped to make bubbles. That's all. Wine with bubbles.

Yes you can, try some of the flavored champagnes like Andre Peach champagne.
I bought some today; it's a great supplement to a bridal shower.
Yes, Champagne is a sparkling wine so the 2 are compatible.

Champagne is wine. There's just going to be time between drinks. If anything, you're being responsible for taking the break between diner and evening drinks.

Different wines for different courses are perfectly normal. Usually, though, one tries to move from lighter to heavier as the evening progresses.

Go for it. It's just bad to mix wine or champagne with liquor drinks like vodka, whiskey, rum, gin, scotch! Cheers!

Not a problem for me. Some people say they get sick mixing alcohol, but this doesn't seem like a really big switch. If people know they get sick, they ought to be smart enough to turn one or the other down.
