December 7, 2016 - Our friend "insisted" on bringing this to Pierre Gagnaire's Hong Kong restaurant last night...how could we say no!? Neither could Pierre as he joined us for a small sip!
Still barely legal yet luscious and showing subtle hints of toasted brioche, caramel and that ever so desired yeasty nose. Give her another 5 years, and you will be proposing marriage!5 people found this helpful 5,986 views

Since my funds are somewhat limited I was thinking of buying two RD 2002 Bollinger and two Krug 2002. I love dough and some yeast. Should I buy less of one or the other. Seems everyone likes the Krug better. (All Krug???) I can afford to buy one RD now and taste it just for the fun of it.

Which Pierre Peters are you talking about -as they have many editions? I think I had this before but not sure which one. Dave -

1/5/17, 1:49 AM - Interesting comment. Yes that would eliminate the harsh name calling. Or the alphabet should star with W. grin
-
BuzzzzOff commented:
1/5/17, 5:47 PM - We would happily accede to your suggestion of starting with "W" ;-)
