TN: I Still Hate Champagne

[Sarah_Kirschbaum]

You mean to say you get no kick from Champagne?

That mere type of alcohol doesn’t thrill you at all?

That’s OK, we get a kick out of you!

Thanks for the cool tasting notes, those two wines are new to me.

Anton I can’t tell what parts of your post are serious and what parts are in jest. This must be what it feels like to be Yaacov.

I apologize.

Your post reminded me of an old Fred Astaire (or Frank Sinatra) song, so I sort of mashed the lyrics to match your thread title.

I meant it all in complimentary fashion, I appreciated you teaching me about wines I have never encountered before.

Fear not - at least one person got your reference.

What key did Cole sing it in?

I’m dumbfounded by this thread. Not liking champagne is akin to not liking pizza. The logic just doesn’t compute in my head how it’s possible.

Anyway…

Your misguided friend has good taste.

Hard to imagine two things more categorically different than champagne and pizza. It would have been more effective if you’d said caviar.

Alex, the point of the post was not that Champagne goes with pizza, rather that everybody likes pizza and Champagne.

Yaacov, is that you?

Great, guy who despises Champagne develops a taste for Bouchard.

That’s okay. Someone who says that they are gone to corner the market, price notwithstanding, sounds like someone who has not as yet checked into pricing.

I have. I’m ok with it. In fact, I’m ok with it at a significant premium to market.

I’ve got 3 bottles of the Rose that I can let you have for $700 per.

I don’t have an opinion about Champagne, other than it’s generally more expensive than I want for a wine that I have no opinion about.

Thanks, cheaper at thatchers but they will only sell one bottle. I won’t have any problem buying a ton in any event.

This is actually not always true, other than the fact that it’s almost always more expensive than I want.

P.S. - you would also probably enjoy chardonnay dominated or blanc-de-blanc (“white from white”) as they can be on the richer side which i’ve found can richness out the bubbles for attention.

Your suggestion doesn’t really make sense to me. In my books the higher the proportion of Chardonnay is, the lighter and more delicate the style is. Most (but def not all) Blancs de Blancs are crisp, light and mineral in style. There certainly are some weightier, rich Blancs de Blancs, but they are pretty rare (and if these producers make Blanc de Noirs wines, they tend to have more weight and richness).

If one wants for richness, I’d steer away from most BdBs and go for Blanc de Noirs instead, because those tend to be weightier and on the rich side of things. Pinot Noir-dominated, if one prefers power and spice; Meunier-dominated, if one prefers fruit and softer expression.

i think we may be using “richness” differently.
