My beloved Champagne

Dom Perignon is my favourite champagne, the first time I tried it I knew that was how champagne should taste and that everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime. The smoothness and absolute delight I felt when it hit my tastebuds made me become one of it's biggest fans, and has inspired my signature on the internet.

I had tried champagne before of course, but this is when I start to sound "snobby" to some. So please bear with me. In all honesty you can taste the difference between an expensive champagne and a cheap sparkling. It truly annoys me how some people say there is no difference and that it all tastes the same. If you prefer the taste of a knife going down your throat and a harsh aftertaste I would recommend sparkling. Sparkling is what I believe is the reason so many people dislike champagne (they think they are drinking champagne, when really its the non-French version -LEAVE CHAMPAGNE TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE!).
I am no champagne connoisseur I can only say what I feel when I taste it. So in essence it's just an opinion, one which many may not share.

To taste champagne such as Dom Perignon can convert even the biggest anti-champagne drinker (this has happened to several people I know).
Champagne to me is the essence of every gathering or celebration, it can only be truly enjoyed to it's full potential around those who are special. While I could drink a bottle to myself, by myself, it defeats the whole role that champagne should play in life.

While I am rambling I still have to share my desire to try Krug which I have not had the honour of doing just yet. Every chance I get I always choose my beloved Dom.
