Here are some of the pictures from this afternoon tasting with Franceen Khang and John Pollis.
We tasted seven different bubblies : quite the treat of the GOSSET line that we have already done so well with here at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits ( 3423 Connecticut Avenue Wines & Spirits Washington D.C. N.W. 2008, sales@clevelandparkwine.com www.clevelandparkwine.com Tel: 202-363-4265 ) with the N.V. brut as well as both the green and the red tops.
This go-round I really enjoyed sinking into the wonderful creaminess of the red top. I felt it enveloping me in such a supporting, pleasing way almost as taking a bubble bath kind-of-feeling. Remember those? I haven't had one of those in years, have you?!?
We also got a chance to enjoy the minuscule releases ( thanks to Pascal Salvadori that had samples from awhile back ) of the amazing " Celebris " bottlings ( 3 ) of which we bought some of the 1998 vintage ( no added dosage of sugar - the natural style of bone-dry dosage after the disgorgement ) that I found to be the most open and versatile of the three to enjoy now when you decide it's time to really treat yourselves.
We will get this 1998 " Celebris " along with the NV brut, the red Grand Reserve and the green 1999 Grand Millesiemes tops, too but none of the rose this go-round. We will also get some magnums of the NV brut that we can put immediately ON SALE. The delivery will arrive in a few days on the first of December, 2008. This is all very exciting! I will include the prices soon.
It's been so busy at work now with Thanksgiving in just two days that i have to be quick and brief in these blogs now.
DON'T FORGET : Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 ( 5:30-8:30 PM ) we have our monthly " Big-Theme ) Bubbly-Sparkling-Champagne Tasting No-Charge-Everyone-Welcome at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits. Bring family and friends. Franceen has said that she will be happy to come and pour the GOSSET Champagnes for us this evening and that alone will be very special and magical!
Hope to see you then and before of course! Happy Thanksgiving. Come and see us whenever you can.
Enjoy these pictures that I took and I will write more soon. Cheers, TONY
Enjoy, TONY
