    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…

    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…

    Sipping With Smoth: Veuve Clicquot and the Perfect Risotto 

    The new year has long been an excuse for me to spend too much money on a bottle of champagne, and this year was no exception. The only difference was, I intended to share it with my girlfriend Christine, who had the terrible misfortune of…

    Sipping With Smoth: The Champagne of Champagnes 

    This New Year’s Eve I had the pleasure of uncorking the very good Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne. Bright and floral, with an incredibly lively fizz, the Roederer was a great way to ring in the New Year, marking my fourth year in a row celebrating properly…
