In this case, the stemware choice had more to do with adding a celebratory feel to the start of the evening than it did with being the ideal choice for the Selosse. Having enough stemware for the 15 or so wines that were poured that night might have had a little to do with it, too.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-50322936039846790202009-04-30T01:26:00.000-04:002009-04-30T01:26:00.000-04:00Funny, I always drink champagne out of white wine ...Funny, I always drink champagne out of white wine glasses, flutes are just too limiting, you get so much more from the wine in a regular glass.

Substance is labeled as Récoltant-Manipulant (RM), which should preclude the possibility of purchased fruit.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-83575443505817749272009-04-27T15:25:00.000-04:002009-04-27T15:25:00.000-04:00great post, David.
