STEP IT UP -The Top 3 Champagnes!

Well, everyone the year is winding down and we are approaching a New Year. Since the holidays are here, we decided there is no better time to celebrate than with a good Champagne. I hope you enjoy our choices..Here's our favorites. What's your favorite?

There is no formula or recipe for Krug Grande Cuvée. Each year the Krug family meets to re-create "their" Krug Grande Cuvée. This is done with careful attention and detail so that after six years of aging, it will be in perfect continuity with previous Krugs. The bouquet is wonderfully creamy, leading to magical combination of weight and balance on the palate. The long, lingering finish is both nutty and toasty, ending with a final flourish of freshness, leaving one longing for more.
Approximately $150

Brut Premier is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature wine. This is a structured and elegantly mature wine, with a lively attack and a smooth palate. But if you just want to spend $225 for a bottle of Louis Roederer's Cristal, that's fine also. Best buy for the holidays and not bad on the price.
Approximately $45-$50


Veuve Clicquot Classical Champagne is a Blend of two-third black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pino Meunier) for body, and balance one-third Chardonnay for elegance


Approximately $ 40-$ 200
