The Grade: I give this one an A. If you want great Champagne for a special occasion, there are great choice other than Dom Perignon or Vueve Cliquot. This was a great wine that paired very well with a cold beet salad and a Butternut Squash, Carrot and Ginger soup. Oh... and according to her blog... I think the wife liked it!
