Started with Veuve Yellow Label. Next we finished off a bottle of Billecart-Salmon Rose. What's next?
(The only reason we started off with the Veuve was because it had been in the refrigerator the longest and was ice cold.)

Don't flame me for posting about California Sparkling 
, but we opened a bottle of Cubs Championship Brut the other night. I thought it was horrid. The bottle is kinda cool, but other than that, I won't be drinking the other bottle.

A friend got a bottle for Christmas. She texted me, "I'll save for the Champagne party." (We have a Champagne party every spring.)
I told her, "As a novelty item, perhaps. I won't serve it." (This, without having tasted though I wouldn't anyway as it's a Champagne party.)

Not even with orange juice? I did notice it was $24.95 at Binny's.

Thoughts about the new "wave" of Champagne on Ice.... here a few big name options...
Moet Chandon Ice Imperial
Pommery Royal Blue Sky
Veuve Clicquot Rich
Mostly night-club and bar scene juice but its slowly coming into the retail segments....

I don't understand the question. Let people drink what they like. Are you saying it's not as good?
