Nice wristband toss at the end. Too bad Farve couldnt do that up in Seattle!!!! Oh no he didnt!!!! Anyway, thanks for braving the snow to bring another fun episode for us. Im trying to buy a champange or two thats not along the big name brands. Hopefully I can grab some that will rock for a nice price. QOTD: Im still big on my Henry Weinhards root beer. Damn fine brew.

Love the energy, Gary! I also like watching the traffic and the snow plow behind you

Great energy GV! I need to drink more sparkling. QOTD: I’ve had some Schramsberg sparkling wines that were pretty good.

QOTD:
Best Bubbles i have ever put in my mouth..Krug Vintage 95….But that my be passed up by the 1990 in my cellar we shal see… Close second would be a 1978 Dom P beautiful Biscutiy notes and complexity in the finish…acid was still surprisingly present but showing signs of age. Baked apple pie as well in the initial palate and quite weighty through the mid-palate.

I don’t remember if I left a comment the first time I watched this one, so here goes.

QOTD: There is a restaurant in DC called Palena (which is wonderful) and they have a champagne they sell by the glass that is…spectacular. I know it when I see it on the menu, but I can’t remember what it is. It ain’t cheap, but it is worth it. I also like Domaine St Pierre Brut NV. It is from New Mexico! I think that is great. Plus it is extremely affordable ($13 in DC, $9 in Buffalo, where I bought a bunch, while visiting my folks over Christmas, for my wedding.)

Hey Gary, great show, loved it in the snow. A great show to start the new year..even though it was posted a few weeks ago.

QOTD: Whatever champagne I had on New years this year, but don’t know what it was since I did not pour it.

Great show – definitely love to see a show with more ‘grower’ champagnes!

Excellent stuff, as usual. It’s also good to see why I don’t move to Jersey, all that snow-ploughing in the background looked nasty.

Q.O.T.D. Still waiting, but did buy an excellent bottle of “real” champagne at the Dubai duty free a few years ago for a friend’s birthday (NOT Dom. P), and she nearly cried when I broke it out being so happy to drink some decent bubbly. Woefully I’ve forgotten what it was, but it was more the thought than the actual liquid I guess.

Good show, loving the style!

I am geting down with the English sparkling wines from South Ridge in Sussex, they are cool.
