Bubbles and Brie At The Wine Store

James Morrison hosted another tasting event at The Wine Store, this one was most appropriate for the season. It was a Champagne and sparkling wine tasting accompanied by brie and bread.

We tasted a Moet & Chandon Rosé Imperial, a Veuve Clicquot, a Chandon and a Cava from Portugal. Earlier, I blogged about Champagne: The Fine Print. My husband got into a conversation about négociant-manipulant (NM) and récoltant-manipulant (RM) with James and that prompted James to pull out a Louis De Sacy, which my husband thought was an RM but is really an NM, so we were able to taste that, too. We did end up purchasing 3 sparklers for the upcoming holiday festivities.
