This year’s New Year Tipple of Choice?
It’s a draw. All by myself, I killed this fine bottle of Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage Brut...
Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage Brut. Look for the Pepto-Bismol-colored label!
...but the previous evening, as the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve, we all enjoyed a bottle of Kirkland Brut. Yep: that cheap shit from Costco.
Cheap? Well, reasonable. Somewhere around $20 the bottle, if I recall correctly. But an extraordinary value, for it was not only real Champagne, but a damn good one. Dry, crisp, with just the right balance of acidity and fruit.
Why drink some bulk-processed California crap when you can get the Real Thing for less than $25? [A tip o’ th’ Elisson Fedora goes to Houston Steve for the recommendation.]
