    Big ups on the champagne commentary. I am a huge champagne fan and sparkling wine as well. Great finds in the cava region. I agree that champagne works great with lobster, sushi, oysters and even enjoyable with mild cheeses. I highly suggest visiting the Champagne region and tour the houses. Moet & Chandon, Pommery, Tattinger, Vueve Cliquot and the large houses are so easily accessible. Epernay & Reims are great gems to explore. I indulge in champagne much more frequently than for celebratory reasons. Most dinner parties start with a nice bottle in the moderate price range. Now is the time to get great buys on normally straospheric bottles! So pop open some bubbly and sante!!!!

    Are you kidding me? I see the Terres Dorees chardonnay on the table. I bought a bottle last week and just popped it open last night. I was impressed and was wondering what GV would say about it. Pretty good for a $13 chardonnay from Burgundy. I was intrigued by what a white from Beaujolais would bring. CAn’t wait to watch part 2. Good thing I saved some for tonight.
