Piollot Comte de Tallante zero dosage NV. This has been our house champagne this season, and I love it.


Also a Piollot this weekend.
2012 Piollot Champagne Champes Rayés Brut Nature

Good value and I won’t hesitate if offered again

Had a NV Drappier Carte d"Or Champagne. I dunno. It was good, nice fruit, good weight, but simple. A touch too much vinous apple and strong acid (in a bad way) for me. I like a more leesy champagne and maybe it needed just a touch more dosage. Might of been the 2011 base tho.. I've heard some bad things about champagnes with 2011 base.

Bump. Rinse. Repeat.

A little late in the weekend to qualify for Sparkling Saturday, but it’s my thread

Totally agree with Gloria Ferrer. Another value sparkler that I just discovered that WAY over delivers is Domaine St Vincent Rose (made by Gruet). At $10/btl, its hard to not like it.

Popped a Colcombet NV Brut Eclat, tastey stuff but prefer the Sabre still.

Status: offline 		Bookended the weekend with a 2013 Immich-Anker Enkircher Zeppwingert Riesling Sekt Brut on Friday night and a 2006 Pol Roger today. The PR is tremendously delicious, benefitting from the bigger bowl of my GGG stem and the setting of a gorgeous SoCal afternoon by the pool with some Paul Hardcastle and DJ Yossarian on the outdoor stereo.

Even at $18, not so sure I will be rebuying this with so many other options in that price range. It seems as though much of the cost is spent on the lovely bottle.
I love the vintage Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut at roughly 3x the price, so it reinforces my life’s dilemma: a prince’s taste with a pauper’s purse.

I’m sure this is really a NV, or rather a MV, but it was bottled early 2014. Fantastic tang of tartness and a sweet hint of creamy fruit.

L'Hermitage is usually $40, where are you seeing it for 3x the NV price?

You're right.... it's more like 2X for the L'Ermitage from most retailers. Restaurant markup = another story ;)
