"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!"
Cheers for the heads up Alex, was going to Tesco this afternoon, so after reading your post I helped myself to 2 bottles of Tattinger Reserve for ?35 when they're usually ?33 each, so WELL HAPPY!!!!

Oh my goodness, he mentioned the Laurent as it was CHEAP, not as it was the cream of the crop. If I am in the right mood I have my last bottle of the 85 Krug, a couple of the 2000 Dom Perignon, three of the 96 Veuve Cliquot, a 98 Pol Roger, as well as plenty of NV Pol Roger, Tattinger, Louis Roederer and Veuve. That was not the point of his post!

eh? have i missed something here big_T???? who mentioned the laurent?
anyway, the paper i read mentioned lanson's black label nv only, i saw a few others that have since been mentioned (tattingers, heidseck etc), but the more 'premier' type champagne (you know what i mean) was the usual price (moet, bollingers, laurent perrier, Dom P?rignon)!!!! my experience with champagne is non existent (except for veuve clicquot yellow label, moet and sainsbury's 'blanc de noirs'), had i known this info, i may have bought more!!! ah well.......
also, i've also read that both tesco's & sainsburys 'blanc de noirs' champagne got fantastic reviews in a blind tasting from world experts!!!! even better that it's under ?20 a bottle!!! it may not be a vintage krug, but what else would you expect from under ?20!!! sounds like a nice treat to have with a nice cuban cigar.....
