You guys do know that both Dom Perignon and Cristal are mainly made for export, right? Dom Perignon not as much, but Cristal definately. The only place Cristal is even well known is the US. Makes you wonder why that would be the case when everyone knows that Champagne is always from france. (Cristal being from france too of course.)
I do like Dom Perignon too, its a good champagne, but you can probably get a lot better non-mass-produced champagne for a lot less. You should seriously consider going to a GOOD wine dealer and asking them. And if he comes to you and says "'96 Cristal" then he probably is in it for the money..."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

So, give me a recommend, please...Raven

Like I said, I would suggest going to a really good wine dealer in your area that seems to know their shit and ask them what they suggest.
I am not sure what champagnes you will be able to get in the US that I would know of, very few very likely since they do not export a lot. It might just be simpler to get a nice Cristal, but you will never know unless you try going to a local wine dealer and talk to them."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

And, my apologies for seemingly ignoring what you said, in that vein...but, I know he won't do that; hence, the post on GFY.Originally posted by Nathan

93 Dom Perignon Rose
92 Dom Perignon (if you can find it)
I prefer both of those over Cristal (96 which is what's generally available). However I prefer the 96 Cristal over 95 Dom Perignon which is what is usually available as far as Dom goes.
To those who say they can't taste the difference between a $20 bottle of Champagne and a good Champagne; there are some who can't tell the difference between Outback Steakhouse and a Morton's or Ruth's Chris. You fall into that category
And you can find 95 Dom for about $110-$120 per bottle and 96 Cristal for $175 or so per bottle (in retail locations).
The two at the top will cost you more but if you're looking to spend $300 and can find them, IMO, they're the way to go.Comment

Forget Champagne, get Johny Walker Blue for about $160.00 and an XO cognac for about $100.00

And whatever you do, don't buy Perrier Jouet

You're right. If it were steak, I'd be in a comfort zone of discussion....Originally posted by PBucksJohn

Moet White Star is good, around $30 a bottle, for high end best taste go with
Roederer 97 Blanc De Blancs: ~$60
Perrier Jouet 96: ~$100
Veuve Clicquot 96: $58
Those are just some of my recent fav's, Cristal is the "baller" drink but not necessarily the best.
For quantity consumption I go with the Roederer or the White Star as we normally use 6-8 bottles for a party and the taste is excellent.Comment

I could more easily discuss vodka than Johnny Walker or cognac....out of my drinking league..but, thanks...Originally posted by ZanyCash Larry

I'd buy a 100 bottles of Andre at $3 a popComment

These suggestions look good. I'd stay away from the Cristal, unless your friend just wants to be a poser.
Sweetie, Go to Larry's Market at the lower end of Queen Anne. They have a fantastic wine department and educated employees . They can make you some great suggestions at reasonable prices.
I bought my hubby 3 bottles of '95 Silver Oak( Cab) for around $65.00 each from Larry's Market. They were not on the shelf, so be sure to ask if they have something in back
I had the 93 Dom Perignon Rose for my wedding dinner, but there were only 25 of us and it was a gift. A very nice gift!!
It was the best champagne I have had ever.

I would go for the 3 bottles of Dom!

But, damn....I will go back there. They have THE most interesting foods and concoctions and stuff. Especially their breads.
Thanks for the suggestion, Kathi...see you in Florida..
