Champagne: Montaudon Grande Rose - a great bottle, but not cheap
Well, this is a really good sparkling wine. It should be, as it's not cheap (about $45 at Total Wine). What I loved about it was its smoothness, which is very unusual in most sparkling wines. Acid is present but not as much as I expected, and the red fruit flavors are sumptuous. 90 points from Wine Spectator. No yeasty/bread notes, which you see in more-expensive Champagnes. A real pleasure to drink, with fresh Dungeoness Crab. At that price, not sure I'll buy it again.
