I wrote something and it got erased – my bad. Anyway, I have WLTV to thank for my increased knowledge, love, and respect for champagne.

Just a couple of points:

1. The “JouÃ«t” in Perrier-JouÃ«t is NOT pronounced jhoo ay! It is pronounced jhoo et.

2. You list VCP, PJ, and Krug as “co-ops” when, in fact, they are certainly not. All three are NÃ©gociant-Manipulants (NM): Champagne producers that may buy the grapes they need from grape growers, produce Champagne, age it, and sell it. A co-op in the Champagne world (RÃ©coltant-CoopÃ©rateur (RC) or CoopÃ©rative de Manipulation (CM)) are groups of grape growers who do not produce their own Champagne but rather have larger houses produce it for them.

I’ve always found Champagne a hard wine to pick. It seems that every event that I go to where it’s served, it’s usually something nasty like Cook’s Brut. I hate that swill. I’m also opposed to spending $80 or more on a bottle for special occasions that really don’t need to be expensive, but that deserve a good bottle of wine. It’s good to see that there are, in fact, some choices out there that are pretty reasonable.

Saw Terry Thiese speak the other day, and tasted a few champagnes, as well as a half dozen austrian and a half dozen german whites. Amazing how different the austrian wines were (dry) from the german ones (sweet).

“like the Yankees playing a high school baseball team”… slowly the sports analogies creep in… Of course, everything always looks peculiar through the retrospectoscope.

I’m nearly 10% caught up.
cheers,

I am guilty….I have been drinking Deutz for the last 5 years. I’m going to look for Brince up here in Commie LCBO Canada but I am not hopeful.

I can’t say that I’m a big Champagne drinker. Perrier Jouet and some other big names have left me unimpressed, but if these are the yellowtail and Gallo of Champagne, then I’ll have to give this region another try. I have tried some sparklers here and there, and at least I was never disappointed by the price.
