Crémant de Bourgogne- Burgundy makes some of the best wines on the planet, period! It makes sense their sparkling wines would be good too, and they are. Less expensive than Champagne, and although not mind-blowing, damn good and damn good values!
If you do not love the exquisitely mature café crème fruit in this extraordinary wine, stop looking for older Champagne because this is as good as it gets. If you do love it, buy what you can now because the next vintage, 1995 (already released in a few markets), and it tastes 10...
Delamotte Brut NVMade from 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. It was light and fresh with citrus aromas and flavors and good acidity. This Champagne works well as an aperitif and was a nice way to begin this festive evening. It is a good value at $35 Bollinger Viei...

If you’re lazy like me, you do 1-3 and call it good. You’re welcome, face, that I even took the makeup off. As an oily-skinned girl, this has resulted in a huge change in the quality and texture of my skin. I now have maybe 1 breakout/pimple every month, usually hormonal,...
Although a relatively young brand by Champagne standards – it was founded in 1976 – the label has a strong following for its contemporary packaging, good value blends, and tie-ups with the arts. In June this year Nicolas Feuillatte developed a new ad campaign to mark its 40thanniversary. ...
After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine spends three years on the lees also in the bottle. It is a crisp; complex full bodied fruity wine with hints of strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Ed said he was very impressed with this wine and so was I. It is a good buy at $...
