Either a Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin or a couple of bottles of
Cl. de la Chapelle, which comes from a co-op in
Ville-Dommange, a small villiage about 10 miles from Reims.

Veuve Clicquot, got a bottle for $30, which is a pretty good price around Michigan.

'85 Bollinger RD, because its one of the few champagnes I really like (dry but with good flavor). Unfortunately I only have 4 bottles left, so I'll have to find a new favorite soon.

[edited to add]: I just noticed that despite having the 2nd lowest number of posts of anyone on this thread, I've been a member almost 1 year and a half longer than anyone else posting so far. Odd. Clearly I need to post a LOT more :-)

How is it?? I have been meaning to try it but wanted to get more info before splashing a lot of money on it. (Booze is highly taxed in Canada....)

We got to try the '95 in wine class this fall (although the teacher argued that drinking it at only 10 years was "infanticide"). My main impression was that it had a very strong yeasty/nutty flavor, more so than Dom Perignon vintage. But I'm sure liveon777 has drunk more of it than I have, so I should probably let him talk. And I'm curious what it's like when it's not too young, too!

$28 here in Chicago, We'll probably be drinking some as I bought a few cases worth of bottles to give out to clients and I just have a couple left over.

Also a bottle of Yalumba

Dom is SOOOOOOO overrated

Krug is wonderful
