We blind taste 3 champagnes, knowing that one is Dom Perignon. We taste #1 Bollinger Special Cuvee ($80-100), #2 Chateau Lanson Black Label ($60-80), and #3 Dom Perignon ($270 & up).

Grab a bottle of one and join us as we ask: "Is Dom special ?"

Forget what the movie "Sideways" did to Merlot. It also helped flood the American market with sweet, manipulated Pinot Noir that is an insult to one one of the finest wine grapes of the world.

Tonight we enjoy: Evolution Pinot Noir, and Evolution Granache from Willamette Valley, Oregon, by Sokol Blosser; Sandhi Pinot from Sta. Rita HIlls, California; and a Saint-Aubin Burgundy by Au Pied du Mont Chauve.

Get a glass, grab a bottle and join us !!!
