I served this at one of our Haute Cuisine Privée Plumpepper dinne rparties and people were blown away! Blanc de Blancs in general are impressing me greatly these days. I've also loved the Michel Turgy 2000 give it a shot if you can find it....Rama Kuchipudihttp://www.plumpepper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-5798583489143377232010-01-14T21:26:02.273-05:002010-01-14T21:26:02.273-05:00hi Roger, thanks for your kind words.

I'm not sure that I will do the kind of post you're looking for, but luckily there are great retail shops in the area that can help you pick out starter cases. My favorite stores are listed on the left sidebar. Have fun with it!<br /><br />Hey JD - long time no see, thanks for stopping by. And I agree, this is wine that happens to have bubbles in it. <br /><br />Thanks again for the generous gift McDee.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-4526449080000160222010-01-14T14:54:53.174-05:002010-01-14T14:54:53.174-05:00I'm glad you enjoyed the Diebolt, Neil, and th...I'm glad you enjoyed the Diebolt, Neil, and that you were able to share it among family and friends. Likewise, I'm sorry your trip last year was cut short of your planned visit with Jacques, as there's nothing quite like standing in his underground cellars, carved into the Cramant chalk, to help in understanding the terroir expression in his wines.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-74480166696435397602010-01-13T17:47:17.012-05:002010-01-13T17:47:17.012-05:00Tarlant's wine is beyond good value (you did s...Tarlant's wine is beyond good value (you did say incredible, so I'm just underlining the point). A single-vineyard wine made entirely from own-rooted vines and with bubbles! It's simply amazing. It's also a very quirky wine. I've had as much experience with this champagne as any other, and while there is a consistency that one might hope to think is the vineyard but there is also a very interesting variety disgorgement to disgorgement and even some bottle variation. It's never bad, but it does move in interesting ways. For me, the best quality of this wine is that more than many champagnes, it drinks like wine. Really, really good wine.Director, Lab Outreachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624832393197386064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-49569395435946312572010-01-13T13:21:43.041-05:002010-01-13T13:21:43.041-05:00Love the blog.

Feeling terrifically overwhelmed by it all, I simply decided that I would just drink Italian wine until I figured out what I liked. A couple years after that I added Spain to my rotation. My wife and I resolved to tackle France this year (decade?) Being a Brooklynite myself, I was delighted to discover your somewhat French wine centric blog. Do you have any interest in doing a post or series for neophytes? Something like, "Drinking your way through France in 100 bottles?" Or the sure to be impossible, "A French Primer: Case of Red and Case of White from Chambers Street." Either way, I look forward to combing through your old posts. Thanks for taking the time to write.rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16408028505582840425noreply@blogger.com
