I love the Nicolas Feuillate Rose too! I had another terrific rose Champagne by a small family-run house last year, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. I'll do some digging. I want to say it was Thierry something, but that doesn't look quite right.

LapLap, thanks for your comments on Cava! Since Champagne is usually out of my price range for everyday drinking but I firmly believe in celebrating even the little occasions (i.e. doing laundry) with "vin mousseaux," I drink a lot of Cava, and I'm always looking for more.

Very informative thread! I'm suddenly thirsty...
