How do you suppose the Hotel industry is doing over there? The tourist industry?? Too bad the Germans weren't marching down the Champs again.

if you're paying more Not if I can help it, but for taste price is no object. I get hooked on a wine for about 2-3 months at a time and then move on. My wife loves champagne and only tastes my wines so it ALL FOR ME!! LOL! I'll try the Black Opal and the Thirsty Lizard varieties and go from there. Thank you for your input, Fellow FReeper.

Aaahhh, the almond champagne...
To: K4Harty
You bring up a point. Should I hear that Champagne was being adulterated, I would most definitely press for air strikes to defend the district and its most heavenly product.
Decanting Champagne into anything but a flute is barbaric.

Yes, very good, but I have a secret, instead of the expensoive almond champagne, a Grocery Store called Albertson's sells a cheap name that is the same exact stuff.
Funny, they just brand it and everyone thinks its theirs....
It comes from the same place.

I buy a lot of wine but haven't bought a French bottle in years. Mostly I buy from Italy and Australia.

I buy ALOT of wine, most of which come from Italy, California, Washington, Oregon, Chile, Argentina, and Spain. When I went to Paris two weeks ago, I broke down and bought three bottles. Of those three, only a red from Corsica, made from the Niellucciu grape, was worth the price paid, which in that case was 9 Euro.

heh heh heh. Now thats one fine looking Frenchie. Poor frogs have had to be associated with them for so long. I wonder if general George S. Patton Jr. was still alive if he would so much admire the French!
