By the way this dinner is one of the best values that we have offered our clients all year, you can't buy a 1/2 bottle of the last two wines on the menu for the price of admission to this event!

GH Mumm de Cramant NV
Price: $72 Sale $63.36
Wine Watch Review: Lightly toasted biscuit and lemon zest citrus light almond pastry notes. Tangy lemon citrus fruit with a smooth and creamy mousse, with excellent minerality chalky finish, leaves the tongue salivating for food crisp green apple. 100% Chardonnay from the grand cru Cramant, only aged 24 months so can not be called a vintage but is from a single vintage, not aged as long so it can retain its freshness, only sold to the family and friends until the 1970s. MOST EXCELLENT

Wine Watch Review: Almond and fresh bread dough, lemon drop candy with notes of ginger spice 50/50 chardonnay and pinot noir, very concentrated bouquet of aromas, with a distinct minerality.
