Advice on champagne

(Note to self) Do NOT shop at Vintage Cellars

The price on Epiqure is around $250/$265 depending on vintage.

That's about what I would expect - not $550! I can't help but think it's a stuff-up.

I'd modify that to check prices before shopping there.

Have you checked their website to see if it was an error?

I've found some decent prices with Vintage before.

I did search the site but only the standard NV Taittinger (c. $80) came up. It didn't come up with a search of Dan Murphy's either.

It's very strange. Generally Vintage Cellars' prices are pretty competitive.

I meant to add that the 2002 Comtes got a rave review in the latest Gourmet Traveller Wine in a big blanc de blancs tasting. They listed RRP as $350.

I was shopping in Melbourne this weekend and saw this vintage poster in a store which I though the Billecart fans may enjoy.

Bump!
I was in Vintage Cellars today and noticed that they have a Taittinger gift pack on special.
Pack is a bottle of NV Taittinger, two engraved champagne glasses in a fancy box.
It was originally priced at $80 but is available now at $66 if bought as part of any six bottles.
Bought one for Shrek as I'm sure he'll share it with me on his birthday

Thats a good deal Fiona, most often I see it in Malbourne for $59.95 so with 2 glasses are a bargin.

A gift that you can share is a really great idea if you can get away with it!
