Re: What Champagne are you Drinkin on New Years?
i'm thinking about just getting a bottle of hypnotiq for myself tonight, while obviously drinking beers/champagne/what have you. I know this isn't that balla or anything but im a broke 19 year old and as of right now have no idea where im going tonight and i think getting wasted off hypno might cheer me up, plus it's a pretty good drink to give to girls.
so what are all of you ballin out on tonight and what do you suggest i get for < $30

Re: What Champagne are you Drinkin on New Years?
Sensei,
Like I said, most of those on the list are $15-30 bottles. Lots of very reasonably priced good champagne out there. Headed to the store right now to pick up a few bottles. I think I'm going to also pick up this for $40: Tarlant Cuvee Louis Brut Prestige Champagne "This is Tarlant's top of the line wine, and one of the best Champagnes we carry regardless of price. It is made of half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir from the chalkiest portion of the Tarlant families hillside vineyards in Oeuilly (Vallée de la Marne). The Tarlant family uses organic practices in the vineyard- but they are very coy about calling themselves organic, no doubt due to the family's prominence in the vignerons association in Champagne. The plot that the grapes come from is called 'les Crayons' and the vines are all over 45 years of age, but average out to more than 50 years. It is fermented in oak barrels without malolactic fermentation. It is aged in oak for 13 months and then on its lees for seven years before release. The current cuvee is a blend of equal parts 1996 and 1997 harvests. This very long ageing process gives this wine lots of complexity and the suppression of the malo and the high quality old vine fruit give it the vivacity of youth. Look for flavors of cinnamon, lightly toasted bread, and apples. The dosage is very, very low and the finish is dry, precise and ultra long."
