TN: 96 Taittinger CdC and a 100 pt day

A nose you can smell from feet away. Toast and lemon curd, with great freshness and cut, but with even better texture. There’s a fine mousse very deep body with an incredible depth and vinosity to this. Beautiful. Texturally rich and incredibly light on its frame. Very long. Outstanding. No points awarded.

As good as this wine is, it pales to the greatest single thing that will ever happen to me. My son has joined us today. The most wonderful thing I have ever, and could ever hope to, see. I am at a loss for words, but can only wish that each of you, at at least one time in your life, can feel how I feel right now.

Have a wonderful night.

Awesome…congrats!

…and I had the 95 CdC and it was amazing.

Todd congrats. I’ll raise a glass to you and your loved ones. Nice bubbly to celebrate.

Congrats Todd.

I agree, the birth of your children is absolutely the single best thing ever. A great champagne to celebrate with as well…

Hi Todd, congratulations to you and Kim, pass on my and Cathy’s best wishes. Also, I hope Kim got a whiff of that 96. Cheers Mike

Congratulations!

Heartfelt congratulations !

Well done Mrs Todd!

Nice wine, one of the mags I ever bought is a 96 Comtes still sleeping in my cellar.

Congratulations! It’s something that can’t be described in words. We weren’t decided on a name before our first was born and after I saw what my wife went through I told her she could name him whatever she wanted. FWIW, I drink a lot more champagne and whites as most of my wine drinking is done while I am cooking for and eating with my children.

Congrats! Mazel Tov! Yipppie! It is the best day. Bless you and your new family.

Congratulations on the birth of your son. Enjoy the ride.

Congratulations Todd!

Congrats Todd to you and Kim! Can’t wait to see the little guy [cheers.gif]

Congratulations Todd. I agree 1000 percent. The most amazing feeling ever. When my first was born, a reservoir of love opened that I never even knew existed. I snuck a bottle of champagne into the hospital for each birth.

Congrats on your son’s birth! Taittinger CdC is one of my top two or three Champagnes (I’m picky about which Champagnes I like)

I hate to contradict you on this great occasion . . . but it only gets better. :slight_smile: Seeing them smile, walk, give you a hug, its all amazing. Cheers to you and your family. [cheers.gif]

Connie and I were talking about you and Kim yesterday and remembering our first born 11yrs and 18 days ago. Glad to hear all is well. Congratulations! We wish you “three” the best.

BTW: Outstanding choice of a celebratory bottle. My favorite champagne. [cheers.gif]

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. It’s been a whirlwind of greatness and fatigue so far. Wonderful stuff.

Mike D: Kim says Hi to you and Cathy, and yes she did get not only a sniff but a little sip or two.

Roger and Dave, soon Zach will be out and about. We will just need to figure out his spot on Thursday nights.

Cheers everyone, and now back to the good stuff offline…


Cheers

Mazeltov! So, are you going to name the boy Tait? [cheers.gif]
