Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Purported to be the father of all Champagne, Dom Pérignon continues to impress generation after generation. This ultimate anniversary or birthday celebration bubbly is only made in the greatest years. Loaded with stylish aromas of citrus, artisanal bread, green apple, mineral and pear, this is quite dry and vibrantly refreshing on the palate. Expect to be impressed. My note: One of the kings of the Champagne category, this bubbly is a great choice for big celebrations and milestones. Robust and deep with enticing notes of brioche, ripe pear and hazelnut. This wine is part of the Vintages Essentials Collection. Food matches: caviar, oysters, mussels.
