NV André Clouet Champagne Grande Réserve Brut
France, Champagne
Great Champagne for the money. Finer mousse and bead than the Brut Zero from the same producer. Bright and racy with great apple and citrus flavors. Went great with apprtizers.

1999 Peter McCoy Chardonnay Clos des Pierres
USA, California, Sonoma County, Knights Valley
A revelation. What an amazing Chard. Incredibly burgundian (and I mean that not just relative to most other CA Chards). Smooth texture, great acidity, and lovely pear and mineral. Solid finish and nowhere near decline. A stunner.
