    Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut Champagne in front of neon

    Champagne/Sparkling Wine, Wine

    Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut is an Archetypal Champagne 

    One of my oldest (and favourite) traditions is springing for a decent bottle of proper Champagne for New Years Eve. Previous inductees have included the absolutely divine Pol Roger and the very-good-for-its-price Taittinger. Nearly a decade ago, it even included a different L-P — the…

    Krug Grand Cuvée Champagne: Joining the Cult of Krug 

    The first time I ever heard of Krug Champagne was in novelist and wine writer Jay McInerney’s collection of wine essays Bacchus and Me. In an essay on Krug, McInerney shares an account of a man at an open champagne bar asking for another glass…

    Taittinger is a Tasty, Entry-Level Champagne 

    When I picked Taittinger (pronounced “Tay-ton-zshay”) to be my New Year’s Eve champagne, it was for simple reasons — it cost under $70, was on sale, and wasn’t Veuve Clicquot, a bubbly I have mixed feelings about. While a non-vintage champagne (not a bad thing…

    13th Street Premier Cuvée Is a Brilliant Vintage Bubbly 

    Alright, so, I realize that reviewing a sparkling wine during the apex of pandemic pandemonium might be on the odd side of decisions to make, but having recently tried the phenomenally good 13th Street Premier Cuvée, (2013), I simply had to share. And since we can’t…

    Santa Margherita Valdobbiadene Prosecco: A Beautiful Bubbly 

    Every New Years Eve I like to treat myself to a nice bottle of sparkling wine. Many years it has taken the form of champagne (delicious when vintage and even when not.) But unfortunately I live in a bizarre reality where my partner Christine DOESN’T…

    Blu Giovello Prosecco is a Crowd Pleasing Bubbly 

    If my family’s reading this they’re probably thinking “Huh. He hasn’t written about OUR prosecco before?” Full disclosure — I thought I had. Blu Giovello Prosecco has been a staple in our household for the better part of a decade, from toasting to the warmer weather to…

    Lamarca Prosecco is the Perfect Bubbly to Ring in Spring 

    Everyone knows that I’m a huge fan of Prosecco. But I tend to stick with what I like, and rarely venture away from old favourites (like the sublime Foss Marai). But when I got a chance to try the excellent Lamarca Prosecco, I was anything but…

    Mumm Champagne Justifies Its Popularity 

    If you’ve ever had a glass of champagne at a function, there’s a good chance it was G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut Champagne. It’s one of the largest producers of champagne in the world, and was ranked 4th in volume of bottles sold as of…

    Pol Roger Brut Champagne: A New Treat for a New Year 

    Every New Year’s Eve I treat myself to a new Champagne (as good an excuse as any to spend far too much on a bottle of booze), and give it a review. This year, based on numerous recommendations, I opted for Pol Roger Reserve Brut…

    Foss Marai is a Primo Prosecco 

    My love for Prosecco has been well documented. Italy’s answer to Champagne, Prosecco is a light, bright bubbly, as perfect for popping on warm Sunday afternoons as for celebrating a special occasion. While I’m an absolute sucker for any half-decent dry Prosecco, some nonetheless stand…
