Veuve Clecquot yellow label certainly seems popular. It retails for $32 or so around metro DC. Certainly one of our favorites, but we also sometimes pick up Pommery for sentimental reasons (a bottle was gifted to us on our honeymoon by a lovely UA flight attendant). ^
Washington Post ran an interesting champagne buying guide in their food section this week (free registration required):

Back to the topic:
My neighbor who has invited us over has shown me a bottle of Dom '88 which he is going to open. Therefore, since I am only stocking some NV stuff right now, I will hie me down to my local purveyor to pick up a bottle of either Fleur de Champagne or Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill, two of my other most favorites.

Hope your New Year is the best!

The Mumm Rose is very nice too, but I think they only sell it at the winery around valentines
