Kudos to our Goutorbe Cuvee Prestige NV grower champagne, chosen as “Best Value” among grower champagnes in an article titled “Savoring Champagne as Art” in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal. “Nutty, with brioche and yeast. Big yet well-balanced, flavorful but not heavy. You can try the Goutorbe along with our other grower champagne at our annual pre-New Year’s tasting on Wednesday, December 30, 2009. We like to call it “Bubbles that Don’t Blow” because by sampling the champagnes, you’re sure to find one that suits your palate so that when you actually pop the cork at midnight, you’ll be certain to like what you’re drinking. Now who you’re kissing, well that’s up to you.
A special note from the Brooklyn wine store to our friend “Anti-Claus”, the well-dressed gentleman who every year steals a bottle of our best champagne instead of leaving the staff gifts. In the WSJ, Dottie called the Goutorbe “a wine of conviction.” You’ve been warned. Our prosecco is delightful, maybe you should try it this year instead?
And from the Manhattan store: We got our hands on a few cases of the “Best of Tasting” wine – the Roger Coulon ‘Tradition’ Premier Cru – which was described as “Delicious! Starts out pleasant, with some cookies and almonds on the nose, but after a few minutes—pow. All the tastes meld into an absolutely beautiful, sophisticated whole with a finish that lasts and lasts. ‘Not a misstep,’ Dottie said.” Keep your eyes peeled for a special tasting!
