Normally $80. 5 Stars in Cuisine "Veuve Clicquot trademark egg-yolk yellow non-vintage label is immediately recognisable. The wine behind is typically smooth, with cashew, stone fruits, vanilla cream and biscuity touches worked into a lush, satisfying, complex package. Although a Brut style, it has the typical light thread of sweetness that marks the house, yet remains clean and tangy."

This sells in the States for USD40.00. Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut builds on the 200-year winemaking tradition established by Champagne Louis Roederer in France. The first California sparkling wine produced by Roederer, the Anderson Valley Brut has established a reputation as one of California's premier sparklers. It is superb and has had huge reviews.
"Nothing quite matches Champagne in either quality or price, but few other bubblies come close, like Roederer Estate, made in California's enigmatic Anderson Valley by the same firm that produces the sumptuous Cristal in France." New York Times
"A tremendous sparkler that is bold, rich and complex, loaded with ripe pear and hazelnut shadings. Provides the kind of sophistication and finesse you usually have to pay two or three times as much to enjoy." 92/100 Wine Spectator.

Normally $34. "The non-vintage Methode Traditionelle Sparkling is sourced from Gibbston and Bendigo, displays a captivating nose of oyster shell, orange-blossom and granite; the palate very well-balanced with good acidity and touches of lemon zest, green apple and just a faint hint of elderflower on the bone-dry finish. I doubt you will find a better non-vintage New Zealand sparkler." 90/100 Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

Normally $37.00 and great buying for a vintage aged Methode. "Highfield makes a richer style of sparkling, with weight added to the wine through its extended time on yeast lees and partial fermentation in oak. The 2007 is a particularly fine example, with powerful notes of toasted spice bread counterpoised by a brisk grapefruit acidity." NZ Herald.

Normally $36 . 5 stars by Bob Campbell. Bob writes "This is a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir grapes with at least two years ageing on the lees in bottle. The style has evolved from a big, rich and rather oxidative wine to a finer more elegant model available today. I favour this latest version- a delicately aromatic sparkling wine with a mix of apple, toast, mineral and yeast flavours. It's a fine textured, very elegant and sophisticated methode that gives a faint nod in the direction of Champagne."

Normally $300. A sophisticated wine drinkers champagne presented in a lovely gift box. It is like drinking a fine wine because of the complexity of the blending from aged cuvees from top cru vineyards. Krug Grande Cuvee is the timelessly stylish signature of Krug, a breathtaking champagne that effortlessly balances richness and freshness, power and finesse. A gleaming gold colour, an extravagantly expansive bouquet, an almost creamy texture. Then, an explosion of flavours, at once mellow and mature, crisp and clean. Its a dream drop.
