Advice on champagne

[Cruiser Elite]

No need to thank me - thank our corp giants for their unbridled competition - my calcs not quite correct - I bought a doz which I think cost me $34.87ea - still a great price for Mumm.

Here is an interesting little article on Mumm I just stumbled over: Mumm's the word as champagne sparkles

Just love the last paragraph - currently contemplating as to whether or not to pop one right now and spread over the cornies?

Wish cards, start here & click and collect have me going out to see my Mumm today... all six of them...!

Edit: good stock at my local tempted to grab another box

So I was wandering the aisles of Dan's yesterday and noticed Taittinger NV gift pack with 2 x glasses included - packaging just spectacular - $59.99. Cruiserette instructed me to buy 12 of same for those last minute bday gifts you require throughout year. So I go online last night to confirm but they are not there - I called Dan's in Parkdale today and they are XMAS item and they only have 5 in store but they would ring around other stores to get me 12 - but then I can't use SH.

But whilst online I did notice this item:

And stand alone Lanson black label:

Now whilst I am not a great fan of Lanson this does look a great deal - with WISH/SH sub #33.00. Will run this past Cruiserette tonight and see just which decision I should make.

Actually secured 8 of these gift packs today from DM's Essendon Fields - NFI how they calculated the price but I paid $35.09ea - shelf price for 6 Lanson showing $41.70ea.

Not much life without your Mumm?

It's Mumm's birthday tommorow... perhaps some Mumm for Mumm?

Dan's have Taittinger at $49.85 in any six as a delivery offer. Not bad.

Moet is now $41.90 per bottle or $39.80 in any six.

Surprised that you haven't taught Cruiserette to operate WISH/SH when you're away?

haha, I am not in Melbourne until late Friday or early Saturday

How long is the sale?

Can possibly do a click-and-collect over the weekend.

Can't go past Cloudy Bay but I prefer Highfield Estate. Dog Point if you want something slightly cheaper

Cloudy Bay, Craggy Range Te Muna Rd. Cloudy Bay the pick of those two.
To be honest $30 is near the top of the price point of what's widely available here commercially in NZ Sav Blanc.
For a birthday I would pony up and get a bottle of Cloudy Bay Te Koko (~$45-$50). Superb wine, once tasted never forgotten. I don't think DM's stock it but is available at Vintage Cellars.

Agree Te Koko is a cracker but Hummel may need to be aware that it is an oaked Fume Blanc style, excellent with food; maybe less suited to an aperitif.

It grows on you as an aperitif
