Bottles at 57

We have yet to try it, but according to our wine instructor the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is among the very best. It’s pretty hard to find, let alone find at a reasonable price, but on a recent trip to Costco they had a four bottles of the stuff. What makes this an even better find is that they were all 1996, which was one of the best years in history for Champagne. While you’re there, you might also see the 1996 Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame, another one of our favorites. All right, so they’re still pretty expensive, but isn’t it worth it to try each of the world’s best at least once?
