Sunday, May 16, 2010 - Served at fund raising dinner with appetizers of crisp rounds with Ricotta cheese and cavier. Nice pairing with a nice, reliable Champagne.

That said, I don't know that they're going to get any better past 4-5 years. And given there's a lot of... let's call them "less industrial" champagnes out there that would be better to have in your cellar, I'd drink 'em now. Cheers.
