Happy Chinese New Year!

I didn’t celebrate CNY but I did celebrate Valentine’s (not alone of course!) and look at my gift.  A $70 bottle of sparkling.  Oooh la la.  Came with its own cool pack.

I fell head over heels for this rich, creamy Champers.  Then I went to BC Liquor and saw how much it cost.  They have a review citing its apple flavour which gives way to lemon curd and warm bread.  I didn’t get that.  I got more peach/apricot, with an astringent passion fruit or tropical note; the yeasty notes are constrained.  A consistent and long lasting effervescence.  To wallow in.

Price: $67 at BC Liquor.
