Here's what I got bitches:

Mango is more tart than sweet and a reisling would be pretty gross.

edit // I don't know why we're arguing this point. A 12 year old's palette isn't refined enough to know the difference between good and bad champagne anyway.

Right? Shoulda just stuck with wine coolers.

Does anyone else thing Champaign is the worst hangover alcohol (I mean in that if you are hung over feeling its the last thing you want to smell/taste)?

I don't know why, but it always reminds me of vomit.

If you can't afford decent champagne, your next year is going to suck just as much.

Also, you don't have to spend a lot of money to find a nice champagne or sparkling wine. You just have to know where to look. Don't go to a supermarket or a liquor store because they're just going to have the standard shit. Go to a place that specializes in wines or alcohol and check their selection.

My favorite sparkling wine is by Gloria Ferrer. It's a California vineyard so we get it pretty cheap out here.

Moet is pretty good and relatively inexpensive. Same with Veuve Clicquot.

You californias have it lucky, since that part of the us is basically the vine country and there are many great vineyards within a few hours driving distance that specialise in a good sparkling wine.

Champagne is a bit trickier for anyone outside europe since in order to be called champagne it has to come from the champagne region, but find a proper vendor and all is well. Tonight we are getting wasted on Krug!

Yeah exactly. I kind of took California wines for granted until I went to a few vineyards up north, they are actually REALLY good. I have a new found love for Zinfandels from the Sonoma region

You're supposed to serve salmon with a white burgundy or even a pinot noir.

Oh i totally got hooked on they a few years ago. Still trying to get a few friends hooked on it as well, but its kind f hard sine this whole country is basically a wine country so theres a lot of old world wine making pride going around But the Sonoma Zins are really magnificent

Yeah, I guess most kids get pretty tired before midnight huh?

In Russia, we also celebrate the Old Year. Before it hits midnight, we open a bottle and say our farewells for 2010. : ] WAT.

Posted by ZeJayMan on Jan-01-2011 20:48:

How anyone can drink anything other than good red wine is beyond me.

haven't read the thread, but you should always buy champagne marked "brut". its the least sweet. the best tasting, i think.
