This was a Champagne/Sparkling theme with Joe putting all the wines together for the tasting. 12 attended on a beautiful night out on the patio enjoying the splendid food and views of the garden.
WOTN was a landslide with the '02 PH Cuvee Rare getting 10 of 12 first place votes (32pts). The '99 Vranken also was clear 2nd place(20pts) and the '04 Roederer L'Hermitage was third (12pts). Camille Saves Rose was 4th (7pts).
NV Philippe Prié Champagne Cuvée Coeur d'Ebene Brut 90 Points
France, Champagne
Light gold color. Drank a 2oz pour over 20 minutes plus. 50C/50PN, Showing apple and yeast on the nose with the palate being sour apple, briny, light and fresh, toasty, yeast, saline, citrus zest palate, leesy finish. This was good, dancing between 89 and 90pts; maybe not quite as good as some of the other Prie blends I'd say. 89+ to 90pts.

NV Bollinger Champagne Special Cuvée Brut 90 Points
France, Champagne
Light gold color. Disgorged 6/13. 2oz pour, drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Nicely toasty and with more richness and body than the Prie, apple, mineral. Very good, but just not what I've come to expect from Bollinger SC. Maybe this was just one of those "only good" bottles. 90+pts.
