Aimee & I got engaged last night and to celebrate we opened up a bottle of Philipponnat Reserve Rosee (not a typo – they spell it the old-fashioned way) Champagne. It’s always been one of my favorites – great yeastiness and brioche, a creamy mouthfeel, lots of red berry fruit, and a wonderfully long finish. It’s fairly dry for a Champagne (only 9 g/L dosage), which gives it a crispness that counterbalances the richness from the three years spent on its lees. Good enough for a truly special occasion, affordable enough ($48.95 in our shop) for a start-up business owner with a good amount of debt.
Plus, the Red Sox won in Game 1 of the playoffs, so a good night all around.
Congratulations to both of you on your engagement!
I’ll stop by the shop later to help with your debt…
Congratulations, Aimee + Phil – I’m so happy for you both!
I’ll be there next week for the Champagne Taste-Off – we’ll have to toast your big news!
Congratulations on your engagement! All the best — Chuck & Stephanie
Congratulations on your engagement.
I’ll spread the word Rebecca and the few still left at Hanna.
