5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Having two children under 3 years of age means that there will alas be no wild new year's eve parties for us to send off 2011.  So, I was thinking... how do I make new year's eve a little extra special this year, well at least for me anyway.  Then the idea hit me... I might treat myself and buy a nice bottle of champagne to toast 2011 off in style.

I've been fortunate to try a few French champagnes in my life time.  It is a love that I wish I could indulge in more often.  Below are my top 5 out of the 7-8 that I have sampled in my 30 something years.
Each one invokes wonderful memories - all great periods of my life.

1. Dom Perignon

2. Bollinger - Special Cuvee

3. Verve Cliquot - Yellow Label Brut

4. Moet & Chandon - Brut Imperial

5 Louis Roederer - Brut Premier

And here are the top 5 on my wish list... Yes, they are all very pricey but I hope one day I'll be able to sample all 5 and add some more wonderful memories to my already blessed life.

1. Krug - Grande Cuvee

2. Perrier-Jouet - Bell Epoque Vintage

3. Louis Roederer - Cristal

4. Mumm - Cuvee R. Lalou

5. Dom Perignon - Champagne Rose



I hope whatever you will be doing, that you all have a happy new year and may 2011 be a special one.
