Billecart-Salmon "Brut Réserve" Champagne
Review Date: 12-06-2013
I've found myself ordering this a lot lately while going out. The Billecart Reserve is an easy, approachable Champagne, with a hint of toast and green apple. When in doubt, a Champagne will go with almost any food at a restaurant (or at home). It can also transition from aperitif to a dinner drink, with just one bottle! Good to have chilled and ready to impress friends, family or your special date...
Ketel One Vodka (750ml)
Review Date: 09-15-2013
Arguably one of the best tasting vodka in my humble opinion. Keep a bottle in the feezer and drink it neat. Or better, just make a staight-up martini, shaken or stirred! Yes, everynight is a martini night!!
Old Weller "Antique" 107 Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) (1 bottle limit)
Review Date: 02-12-2011
The Old Weller is becoming my everyday favorite. Sure there are pricier and more complex tasting bourbons, but for under twenty bucks, this is one smooth and easy drinking goodness! For something that is 107 proof, you won't even taste the alcohol. No burning sensations in the back of your throat! Such elegance!

Antech Brut Nature Blanquette de Limoux
Review Date: 11-21-2010
"Most of the world credits the invention of sparkling wine to the Champagne region, and to Dom Perignon. The legend, and possible real story, is far more interesting. According to Limoux natives, it was really invented there when Blanquette was created in their backyard. Its existence is documented as far back as the 1500s. When the great dom passed through, he stole the idea, they allege." -Kelby Carr
...This Cremant de Limoux is clean, bright and unassuming. Great to drink as is, or to mix a champagne-cocktail drink! Perfect for the holidays...-GLai

$14.99
Baron-Fuenté "Esprit" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-13-2010
Absolutely, delightfully delicious! Medium weight with earthy mushroom, nutty tones. Clean and bright, with a little vanilla flavor finish.
La Petite Marquise Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé
Review Date: 08-28-2010
This is the ultimate party and wedding Cremant rose of the year. It's easy on the palate, fun to drink and a great value. Nicely balanced acidity with a hint of minerality. There was even a strawberry flavor dancing in the back of my tongue...What's not to like?

Egrot Brut Champagne
Review Date: 07-24-2010
Great tasting Champagne with good pinot noir flavor. Very well balanced on the palate with nice body.
A little toasty with a taste of rhubarb undertone. Yes I like it!

St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur (750ml)
Review Date: 07-04-2010
The St.Germain Elderflower liqueur is my "secret" ingredient, to the extra layer of flavor and complexity in my cocktails. Not only it is heaven to sip in straight/on the rock, but it complements any vodka, tequila or Champagne perfectly !
This is a must have item in your bar...
Lillet Blanc Aperitif Wine (750ml)
Review Date: 07-04-2010
Excellent aperitif wine to have, before moving on to the "next" stage. Drink it chilled or on the rock.
The Lillet is also a good substitute to have when I run out of white wine (gasp!). Yes, that even happens to professional drinkers !
Ariston Aspasie "Réserve" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 06-06-2010
Yes, this is it! A balanced Champagne not too light, nor yeasty. This is an elegant bubbly tasting just right on the palate. For the price, this is clearly a winner! Drink one tonight and keep another bottle on stand-by, for special occasions!
