They had a bottle of the Grande Annee Rose but I thought I would pass...

Just polished off bottles of 1995 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé and Laurent Perrier Rosé with some family.
Both were very nice, hard to compare the two thought. Veuve was much bolder and seemed to be the favorite of most.

Haven't had VC rose. How does that compare with regular VC?

A very dear & thoughtful friend of mine just gave me a bottle of the aforementioned nectar of the gods for my birthday!!! My birthday is this Saturday and I plan on closing the drapes and drinking this all by myself--no sharing. I can't wait.

You should open those drapes and drink it on your deck where everyone can see you! LOL

Anybody have opinions or information about this one? It popped up a month or two back at Costco for $26 and we've really been enjoying it.

Going on my second Viking River cruise in September. They have Veuve Clicquot on the wine list at $65. Not too bad considering it sells for about $50 where I am. Maybe it should be cheaper in Europe, I dont know. Debating whether to have it at the beginning of the trip, before they run out, or at the end. And do I share it with anyone other than the spouse?
I have a ship credit that should cover all my alcohol, which is nice. Their wine list isn't that impressive, at least not by the glass. I'll have to look for the list of by the bottle wines.
