    Gary,

    The best grower champagne I have ever had for the money was by a small grower named Franck Pascal. Kermit Lynch is bringing him in along with a number of other great growers. Another great one is Francois Bedel. Both are predominantly Pinot Meunier but distinctive and tremendous values. However, the greatest champagne i have ever tasted was Salon “Le Mesnil” 1995.

    OK, how the heck did those bottles move all by themselves?

    When the cursor is right under the M in .com, the bottles move all by themselves!

    Freaky.

  • I just bought a bottle of the H. Billiot this weekend for my husband’s and my first wedding anniversary. I had it for the first time last week on a girl’s night out and oh my goodness, it was yuuuuummmmmy. I’ve done Krug, Cristal, Dom, Veuve, etc., etc. and while a couple of those are of course fun to drink, I really like the intensity of the flavors in the H. Billiot better. It’s definitely much more complicated. Love it.

    Thanks for the other growers recommendations. Can’t wait to try them!

    Great episode Gary, love to see you bringing the lesser known Champagnes to the forefront. I’m so tired of all the bandwagon stuff. Speaking of which, it would be a joy Gary, to see you do an episode on vin jaune’s. An episode on tasting the different charbono’s out there would be fun.

    Not a Champagne fan. QOTD-no answer. Serious # of comments, I guess the most out of first 115 episodes. http://www.winelx.com

    GV – Bubbles are way cool. Good show.

    QOTD – Favorite grower Champagne, tough to call but I love Vilmart and Cie.

    GFsh – Peace and Jets

    I dont like champagne it's too bitter. I would MUCH rather have a moscato d'asti if I am going to be drinking some sparkling wine. Moscato's are much sweeter, easier to drink, and great either before or after dinner. Sorry but chapagne can't compare.

  • Pol Roger isn’t bad but I don’t drink much of this stuff, so hard to say.

  • Welcome Michael Speer

    This is a great show, as always.

    Cheers!

    P.S. And yes, the first guy who greets you with a Colts T-shirt and glass of Dominus, is yours truly.

  • These were the days. 😉
