Miss this thread.
I have a couple decent sparklers in the wine fridge, but I am thinking of picking up something more special to enjoy over the next day or so.
Is anyone familiar with Pierre Paillard? I'm looking at their Les Parcelles, which comes in just under my $50 budget. Other ideas at that price point?

I was going to go with Veuve but ended up with Mumms Napa.

Actually, my fav California bubbles are Schramsberg blanc de blanc which fits in your price range. Assuming you decide to go California rather than French.

I have a bottle of Roederer Estate from Mendocino county, Ca in the fridge. Going with the Florida option might as well just be drinking out of the toilet. And I mean that in every sense of the word.

I'm partial to Pol Roger, though my budget isn't. My brother brought along a bottle of Ruinart a few weeks ago for himself, his wife and me to try. I think he found a "deal" at about $90. There was not a thing wrong with it. Perfect in a very pretty, well mannered sort of way.
But not worth a repeat, in our mind. Whew! That's a relief! I sure don't want to lie awake at night dreaming about a $90 champagne that I really want but can't afford.
