My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Wine of the Week - Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne

Champers. There's nothing better, and while sparklers from all over are always a treat (I'm a big Prosecco fan) nothing beats the real thing for special occasions. After all, someone always asks if it's actually "champagne".

The Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne $74 is well balanced and golden, with very small bubbles, and an extremely long finish. It has all the warm flavours of an apple crumble - baked apple, nuts, toast and biscuits. After checking the link for availability, it's become clear that those of you in White Rock, Richmond and Pitt Meadows have already been enjoying this a lot. There's hardly any left! http://www.bcliquorstores.com/en/products/384529?region=5
