Hmmm - what a dilemma!!!
The Ruinart (it is a magnum in a walnut presentation box - right?) was is
a
recent innovation from Ruinart, originally released for y2k millenium
celebrations.
Like the Salon, it is Blanc de Blanc, so, if you are determined to open a
magnum; something of a collectable valued at over $1,200, I would pair it
with the Salon - and make this the first flight.
Flight two, I would include the Dom Perignon, Perrier Jouet and the
Cristal
Flight three then would comprise the two Krugs and the Bollinger RD - the
heavy weighs.
Is my invite in the mail?
