Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 8 years ago
Mineral Garnacha blanca with the touch of chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Perfect for tartar. — 9 years ago
If Pol is a great summer time champers this is probably best in front of a roaring log fire in the middle of winter. A substantial heartier champers with its higher Pinot Noir content showing through. A lovely contrast to the Pol Roger. — 9 years ago
This champagne brought us back to reality. Just a standard bearer of a champagne reminiscent of a Pol Roger. — 9 years ago

A rare wine from Pol Roger-magnum from 1990; tiraged for the year 2000; so good; never tasted before; now an eventful wine; mature brulee style, nice honey, taut acid, all there. #drinkchampagne #champagne #polroger #year2000 #rare — 10 years ago

Last of the library bottles, the champagnes, then perhaps the magnums. After that, it's back to "current drinking" ;-) — 12 years ago

Anniversary bubbles! V yums. — 9 years ago
First wine we tried at the Oakton Wine Shop's 5th year anniversary celebration. Very light pink and clear. Lots of tropical fruits on the nose, with some citrus and watermelon undertones. Moderate acidity (6/10) and light bodied. Palate was coated with strawberries and citrus fruits. Long dry finish. Drink till 2019. — 9 years ago
What a treat to have a taste of 1997 Salon Blanc de Blancs. So complex: Toast, chalky minerality, spice, cacao, cloves. Fresh yet rich, balanced, with palate coating bubbles. What a gorgeous wine. Merci beaucoup @lamamouniamarrakech. Although maybe sacrilegious not to have Pol Roger in the Churchill Bar? #winelife #pianobar #travel #marrakech #morocco #champagne — 10 years ago
