Mike, you indicated that Champagne is more like brands.

My local wine shop is slowly going to introduce me to some Boutique small
producers. Wineries with under 10000 case production. He says he has 10-12
of them coming in this Fall...

I bought one bottle to try to get started---Champagne Brut Diebolt-Vallois
a' Cremant....

Are you two Mikes familiar with this...I will try this in a Bordeaux glass
in the next month.

My kitchen is getting remodeled over next 4 weeks so I think I will not be
cooking much while floor, counters and cabinets are being replaced.

"Crémant" is something different.

I am not, but Viktor Siegl, a very good friend of mine (an
excellent taster and also wine-writer, btw) ist very fond of this
house.
