Candie's Big 4-0 (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Small tasting pour. Apricot, red apple, cherry, floral on the nose. The palate displays red apple, crisp and lively, slate minerality, lager, chalk.

My btl at Candace's 40th Spoon Dinner. I surely expected more from this Tete Cuvee level champagne. Referred to me locally as a hard to find Paillard Cuvee. Frankly, I found it a bit rough around the edges and lacking the level of refinement wines at this price point usually display. Showed an earthy quality too that didn't trip my trigger. Got its but kicked by Candaces '11 Taittinger Comte that proceeded it. Probably should have followed my own instincts in making a selection.

Classic brioche & lemon combined with the red fruit of the Pinot. A very tasty charmer, belies the vintage. Crunchy finish. Good.
