Yesvery lucky you Suejen.

I find just before Melbourne Cup normally a good time for french bargains.

My dh bought me Dom Perignon, ok but not worth the money & I dont like Bollinger.

Personally i have found alot of the big name champagne houses dont live up to their price tag.. My,fav champagne is a small family operation .. Their champagnes are lovely and beat the commun houses hands down imo..

Have any of u tried white truffles.. More intense flavour.. Alot more expensive than its black cousin but no shelf life...one of the areas they are found is in san miniato in italy of course where we visited last year but it was not the season for them so you couldnt taste any of it fresh just shavings on pasta etc.. Ohand u cant cook it either...people enjoy the intensity of it but chefs dont use it as much as the black truffle as its just not as versatile..

Oh and the champagne is at.. http://www.champagne-olivier-pereetfils.com/home/spip.php?rubrique23

I just found they have a new site and its also in english.. They are one of the independant producers and well known champagne families of the region and its a four generation family run affair..i first tasted it as a gift from one,of my husbands companies and kept enjoying it year after year and severalfriends and family also ordered regularly... We will be looking at ordering a few boxes once settled inour own place.. Their champagnes are lovely..i adore their pink champagne..esquisite! Dont know if its possible though or worth it with aussie import taxes.. If i remember it was 44 percent on alcohol.. Pfffttt  will have to wait and see ..if you have a receipt a,d can buy them cheap enough it is still worth it as alcohol is so over priced in oz for anything decent..
