CHAMPAGNE LIST - 2004  

GREAT BOTTLES:  

Most French Champagnes over $20 are good stuff.

Veuve Clicquot is great.

Pacific Echo (Domestic), is very good.

Roederer Estate (Domestic), fabulous!

  GOOD:

Domaine Carneros

  Gloria Ferrer is best sparkler at medium price.

Mumm's Napa Cuvee, very good but expensive.

Napa Chandon is fine, but tart.

Piper Sonoma is good.

Chateau St. Michelle - Washington state, good, slight apple tones.

Cristalino is a Spanish Cava, inexpensive and good!

Segura Vidas is also Spanish, inexpensive and good.

  OK:

Paul Cheneau $6.

  ••• BAD•••

Freixenet is a waste - NO!

Anything under $6 a bottle is usually a waste.
