Champagne & Sparkling wines

Crystal - France     300.00

The ultimate imported French Champagne. For connoisseurs the world over, there is nothing finer. Aromatic, with mid-palate richness as well as density to the honey and white chocolate flavors. The overall impression is a tightly wound Champagne, with very good concentration and length.

Dom Perignon - France  249.00

The name Dom Perignon has become synonymous with class and stature. Fascinating. Mature notes of mushroom, corrupt cherry and forest undergrowth evoke an aged red Burgundy. Firm and medium-bodied, yet softening and with little effervescence, it fades by the finish, but the bouquet alone is worth the price of admission. Drink now. Rated 92 - Wine Spectator
