terabyte01's Blue wedding

I went a bought 4 bottles of champagne to taste this weekend. Our venue is letting us bring in the champagne for the toast, but no other liquor. Strange Texas liquor laws that allow this, but doesn't allow us to bring anything else in. So before we buy three cases, I'd thought we'd try a few bottles. We'll definitely be inviting friends over to help us taste! I also bought the mixers for bellinis so we don't have to drink the remaining champagne just by itself.

Cristalino is the brand I orginally found for $6.33 a bottle (in a case). It's rated by Wine Enthusiast as a 91 and had 65 good reviews out of 68 total on Wine.com. I'll post again with the tasting notes for all four, because all of the champagnes were tasting are less that $8 a bottle when bought by the case.

Wine.com is also having a sale right now. One cent shipping on all orders of $99+. This is what originally got me to start looking, but it turns out that I can get it cheaper at my local liquor store, Spec's.

The people at the store said that the only time their champagne goes on sale is in the weeks running up to New Year's because they can buy and sell more in bulk and get the better prices.
