I can, more or less, BS my way around wines. However, champagne is another story entirely. Having never really properly introduced myself to champagne I have no idea what to look for other than the fact that if it wasn't made from graped from teh Champagne region of France than it cannot be called so.
With that being said, I am planning a suprise trip to Paris for my wife's 30th birthday. We are leaving this upcoming Wednesday. As a part of my suprise I am hiring transportation to / from the airport. I want to have a good bottle of champagne for the trip to the airport.
My theory is this... Anyone can say "Just get a bottle of Dom or White Star". Not that they aren't great champagnes, it's just that there has to be other brands out there that are just as refreshing and 'special'. I don't really care about the price since it is a birthday present and all.
Can anyone recommend a very good bottle for around the $100 +/- range?
