Advice on champagne

[rogerkambah]

Just ordered another box of Tatti from DMs.

I've decided to take the quality challenge and ordered 6 bottles last night - thanks for the tip Blackcat20.

Opened the door this morning and it's arrived. It felt a bit like Christmas morning. I like the 3D soccer balls. I hope we can do this again next year after the Rugby World Cup

Thinking about tasting order for tomorrow's event...trying to resist urge for an early taste!!

If there's anyone in the universe who hasn't got on the Dan Murphy's Taittinger it's still available

Oh there are plenty who should have but who haven't PF - I sent the info to at least a doz people I thought were certainties but only 1 acted - you can lead horse to water ....................

Dal Zotto prosecco is my favourite.

Gave this a try tonight. Very nice on a budget (me), thanks blackcat.

Reminds me when I tried to teach some of my friends how to buy points and fly cheap J but most of them are still commuting in Y... Oh well, more of the good stuff for us

Trying to find good demi-sec champagne in Sydney appears to be the unachievable - no one ever seems to have any in stock! Anyone with experience?

Have given up on this yonks ago - there is no doubt AFFers dance to the beat of a different drum - so be it - my kind of music!

Good luck, it's near impossible to find anything outside of brut and rose in this country. Blanc de blancs even hard to find. I don't think there's much of a market for it.

I'm going to enjoy drinking .... Plus a couple of Christmas presents.

I think it has something to do with the fact that when most people see something which is too good to be true they don't believe it's real (in most cases it's correct btw). When I told some of my friends about the DM champagne offer some said there must be a catch, can't be same quality like the full price.

I guess the comment about it not being a grey import confirms those thoughts boomy.

From memory the first prosecco produced in Victoria, and I find it's nicer than the rest. Very drinkable. Love visiting the winery too.

I was out for dinner last night with a few docs and told them about it.
Two of them have now ordered, mind you their eyes glazed over when I started talking about Columbian frequent flyer schemes, you can't win them all :mrgreen:

Even my bank is a non-believer, it keeps blocking my card every time I buy points from LM

There's a fair few decent blanc de blancs that are readily available. Pol Roger vintage BdB, Taittinger comte de champagne, Ruinart, Roederer etc all spring to mind.

Of course vintage, but some don't wish to buy $200+ bottles of vin.

 

[Daver6]

Of course vintage, but some don't wish to buy $200+ bottles of vin.

Ruinart BdB can be had for $80 and the Pol Roger vintage for around $100. Similar for the Roederer if I'm not mistaken.
