Luxury Champaign Tasting at BevMo (December 3, 2014)

                                                            

                                                       Hallo my friends! 

  
           
           Before Christmas 2014 I decided to spent more time on professional wine tasting to improve my tasting skills. I didn't  know that after one month I will be pregnant and I will cancel all events ahead! In December I prepared huge Resolution for myself and I decided to continue my wine education! I subscribed on all top-wine boutiques in san Francisco and Bay Area. And I started looking for wine events.  

          Soon I got this invitation and massage from very popular store BevMo at Van Ness st in San Francisco :

          Whaaaat??? Only $25 for sip of famous-famous and glamorous Krug, Dom Perignon and Vueve Cliqout? AND YOU ARE ASKING?! SURE!!!! WHY NOT? I asked my husband to join  this event, got tickets and explained him why it  is so important to me. He agreed, even though its going to be a long evening with brut Champaign, i was so happy that i had no choice but to look at him like a crazy cat from Shrek movie.

          I really liked Krug Grand Cuvee  Champagne . I was super exited with speech of wine consultant and when he told about all Winemaker's notes as a deep golden color and fine bubbles, predicting fullness and elegance. Aromas of flowers in bloom,ripe and dried fruit, marzipan, gingerbread and citrus fruits. Flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar,  jellied and citrus fruits, almond, brioche and honey . And loooong aftertaste with toasted bread with somme truffles. 
         I felt everything and I start believing  in my taste skills. They are back! They are back! I felt toasted bread and citrus, and honey, and mushrooms! Its amazing ! I start feeling it again! I miss wine tasting! not when You are alone drinking wine in wine tasting room! When You are listening to professional  and start following his notes. 

     My husband was so tired and bored  on this event, but he found a table with black caviar! He got 2 extra portions and enjoyed it a lot. This is excellent pair of food and wine. Salty caviar and brut champagne. I think I know already how we will celebrate my comeback  after breastfeeding to drinking wine. We will buy a good bottle of champagne, a little can of black caviar and candle. It will be something super special! I'm sure! 

 This is one of the most expensive champagne in the world,  Armand De Brignac Champagne.
