Missed the Piper Heidseick that one - I will check it out. We went to a Champagne dinner last year and the Heidseick rep explained how the Heidseick family split into various vineyards ages ago.

The vintage Heidsick was 95 in the fancy crystal bottle.

was this the vintage one?

Good work, the middle bottle is only 25 and very tasty. I picked a Rhoederer which was 18, and my wife, Iris, found it "too dry."

Yes, that is the vintage bottle, we had a bottle at a dinner. I prefer the yellow bottle.

My partner mentioned a Dompierre non Couvee de Ambassador - do you know it.

Ok so the other Day I POPPED in and created a kerfuffle I see. I was going to clean up my 'mess' a couple pages back but the rest of the thread wouldn't make sense. I leave it there for posterity

Popping in to say hi to Kansas!

Oops. Am unfamiliar with Dom pierre, B!

I find Nicolas Feuillatte too dry... But it has good advertising.



You can however, find a less expensive Tatttinger, though the Comtes des Champagne is quite yummy (and can break the bank)

C - I buy splits of the Nicolas for the wife. I think it is a blue label though.

B - I know the one you speak of...

as long as you dinna use any of these gems to make mimosas, though... crack the Korbel for that!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 6:01pm

Indeed.

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 6:02pm

spoken by the Comtess de Champagne herself!

I've been known to enjoy a drop or two.

Tee hee

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:18pm

I cannot imagine where or when we could ever get together and share bubbly?

C - never with OJ unless Korbel (whis is god awful on its own)

I saw KS came back to clean up the mess he made...

I haven't had bubbly in way too long...

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 10:42pm

Korbel will do in a pinch.

Prosecco is a better mixer, and perfectly pleasing on its own...

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 10:53pm

C- interesting, I have seen Prosecco.

I see K and I would like his comments!!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 11:01pm

Of course, Prosecco is just Italian sparkling wine. Cava, I believe being the Spanish version of it.

A true Bellini is made with white peach puree and prosecco....

Is it capped and not corked? C - I can see it on the shelf!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 11:11pm

It should be corked, just like the others, but that could be vineyard dependant....

to quench your thirst....:)

Much mazel for the New Year!

yes Mr Cookie -- you are correct on the names of Sparkilings from various great European wine countries!

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 11:18pm

C - I am so stupid I thought that Prosecco was a brand!!!

K - will you forgive me, I do not eat Italian food and have not been to Italy?

Brdlwyr...lounging around on Cookie's thread discussing Italian food and wine...

Am I correct to think that my defense is in good shape and that I can fly into NYC for "Barefoot" without fear/hesitation/an alias.

And, is Cookie being called as a character witness? If so...I need to start working on him right now... :o)

I'm off to bed...I've been editing materials for a project and my eyeballs are ready to explode.

G'night All!
