Dec 6th - NYC - Annual Baller Bubbles

Now that I think of it probably some Laherte Frères would be good since we discussed a tasting.

Works for me if possible.

Glad this turned out to be on the 6th. I’ll bring:

2002 Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Nicolas François

May go for a Mosel sekt for my second bottle.

This will be awesome. I will bring a '95 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires and a backup TBD.

I should be able to do this Gav. Will probably bring a 12 or 13 CdC. Thanks!

Assuming in one piece, should be able to make it
wine#1 some perpetual reserve thing that will bake your noodles (need to dig it up)
wine#2 leesiest backup fizz Juve Y Camps Cava Brut Gran Reserva 2016

Some of that stuff is the best!
Lmk if you lock in '06 CdC bc I will mark it off my potentials then. And then Claudia’s BB could be a Laherte Frères?

Producer of dreams and nightmares! I brought '09 last year, but totally fell flat for me. Glad to see it have a come-back shot.

Haven’t had a lot of this producer so would be a nice education, but also Mag of Chetillons seems like a very proper Baller move.

Second bottle is a surprise, you red herring laying miscreant!

Heaven protect us.

Sounds good, AJ. Lmk bottles when you have an idea.

I can bring some Gosset Célebris for one that’s off the beaten path (thinking '02 or '07) or could add to the CdC and bring some '05. Also no longer a plus one for me!

I am really sorry, got called out for a skiing trip in VT during that weekend so I can no longer make it. It’s such a shame as it’s an annual event and I really want to share and enjoy some great champagne with folks here :(.

Again I’m so sorry, if by any chance the date got changed I’ll try my best to make it!

Still room for Julie and I? I think we can pull this off. But can I bring an obscure sparkling Italian white? @PeterB

Given @PeterB brought a natural wine to North vs South, I think allowances must be made!

Yes. This will be festive and no wait list. As long as folks have the wines, they are welcome!

FIFY

Sorry. I could not resist.

If Peter and Phil promise not to bring their normal under-sulfured wines that reek of fecal notes and cat piss, and if I am allowed out of the house that day, I could stop by with my wife and a bottle of 2006 Pol Roger Winston Churchill. I have others but that seems to be good to drink opposite the 2002 Churchill. I have to see what else we have as my inventory is badly flucked up. I may have a 375 of Krug GC - 2 or 3 blends past - and would bring that also for fun if I can find it.

Peter just used his one get out of free card for cat piss wine, so should be in the clear.
Phil…well there is no helping some people.

Would love to have you, @J_a_y_H_a_c_k . Happy that you’re pogo-sticking around again.

Sadly, I am going to have to pull out unfortunately as my fiancé and I have an unexpected family event that evening. Until next time!
