- barnesy - 04-10-2001 I am looking for a bottle of champagne, or sparkling if you must, to celebrate when I get my new job. I am lookin for something in the 20-40 dollar range. I don't want the Pol Roger NV Brut. I have already had it, its fabulous, but I want to take the opportunity to try something else. On wine.com, I found a couple in my range that look exceptionally interesting: 1993 Charles Ellner Champagne Brut Seduction $33, 70% chard, %30% pinot noir Michel Turgy Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 100% chard at $35. Both were reduced about 13 bucks. My guess to help business along. Has anyone had any experiance with these...will I like them as much as I liked the Pol Roger? What other suggestions do you have, keeping in mind I will probably have to have it shipped to the backwoods of Idaho? Barnesy - Innkeeper - 04-11-2001 Not familiar with either, but that means little. Didn't you get Roberto's "Wine Expo Spring 2001 News?" It is full of great inexpensive Champagne. - winoweenie - 04-11-2001 Take IKs' advice. I'll be seeing the dude next week. Say a prayer. WW By the Bye Barnstormer, did you make a connection in Oregon or Wash?

I fly into Portland in May for the interviews. I'll probably check out a few of the local wine ships with my sis. See who's selling good vino at a good price and who prices on a "speculator" formula. I did get the Wine Expo flier, but I don't order from them and most of his selection probably isn't readily available in other places. So any other suggestions would be appreciated. Barnesy - winoweenie - 04-11-2001 Bye the bye, G Chick is probably friends with the owners or sales managers of those distributorships. Call him, he could help. WW |
