Yesterday, my husband started the daunting task of repairing/re-building our wooden sash windows. I admire him for this - it's a big job that requires power tools, something I wouldn't be able to do.
It seemed appropriate that we have some bubbly to celebrate his first window completed, so we opened a bottle of G. Tribaut Cuvee de Reserve that we got from the Champagne Warehouse. It's an even blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier and was an excellent accompaniment to the Cuban-marinated pork chops that we had for dinner. The best part - there were so many bubbles in the champagne that it was difficult to tell what it tasted like on the first few sips because all you got in your mouth was the burst of air from the bubbles popping!! But the flavour is wonderfully complex and rich, with just a hint of sweetness on the finish. My husband commented that he thought the champagne would have had a higher percentage of pinot noir in it, because it had that sort of flavour.
We both agreed that this champagne is a 'do-over', one that we would gladly drink again.
