Champagne
This year we toasted the new year with a bottle of one of our favorites – Perrier Jouet Brut. Every now and then you serve a wine that you’ve had many times but for some unknown reason the bottle you’ve just opened is far better than any of the others. That was our experience on New Year’s Eve.
A few weeks before Christmas Costco had the green gift box that included 2 tulip shaped flutes so I snapped one up – and am I glad I did.
Perfect with lobster or crab. Wonderful with everything else!
Perrier Jouet Grand Brut
Pale gold color with aromas of pear, fresh baked bread, and hazelnut. Flavors of brioche, honey and ripe citrus with hints of roasted nuts. Crisp, well balanced with a nice finish.
Gift box only available during holidays at Costco but you can find it at K & L – without the flutes, for $40.
