Bubbly Plans for NYE?

[Sam Platt]

I'm going to open a magnum of Ruinart Rose NV along with some Prosecco depending on the number of drinkers in attendance. What is everyone else planning to open as 2013 approaches?

[Jeff B]

We're going to open a 1996 Dom Perignon to ring in 2013.

[Jim Grow]

I'll probably open a NV de Venoge Brut Cordon Bleu. I had one over Christmas and really liked it. We will be dining and playing euchre with non-wine geeks so nothing too fancy.

[Dale Williams]

Our plans keep changing, now it looks like a small local party with non-winegeeks, I'll probably carry a couple of bottles of stuff I have or have had multiples of, vintage Ellners, NV Bremonts, Pinon or Huet Vouvray Bruts

[David M. Bueker]

Something rose since we are having burgers. No way we are staying up until midnight.

[Bob Parsons Alberta]

Thinking Devaux NV Blanc de Noirs after sampling yesterday downtown.
Good price at $62 and will keep me awake unlike Davids bottle

[Jenise]

Like Dale, we're also planning to spend the evening with non-geeks, so will get alone with some Sharffenberger or Roederer Estate. However, if my cold doesn't do some kind of miracle we'll be putting off the celebration for a few days and having something a bit more important.

[Noel Ermitano]

The 31st festivities will be at my house this year - my wife's family, so we'll be around 30 people, and only my wife and I are really into wine. Thus, I'll be pouring basic Taittinger Brut Réserve NV. Dinner of the 1st will be for my immediate family - just 8 of us since my two sisters, niece, and brother-in-law are out of the country, and my family drinks wine - so I'll be pouring Dom Pérignon (haven't decided which vintages though).

[Doug Surplus]

Not sure yet. Could be one or both of these, depending on who's here:

Georges Vesselle Grand Cru Brut Non Vintage
Paul Goerg Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs

[Fredrik L]

Wine with bubbles? Yuk.

I went to a tasting a month ago where they served Krug 90, Salon 90 and Clos du Mesnil 90 in the first flight; I let my neighbour finish my pours.

My wife's working late and won't arrive home until close to 11....maybe, so I plan to open the other Knot rose "Sinnet" sparkler with some finger food.

[Jon Peterson]

Most likely going to a friends house for cocktails and finger foods then, well before midnight, returning home to have a pork roast with Pinot Noir (don't know which one yet) and then as the clock strike 12, the 1999 Mailly Brut reserve. I really like to have my champagne with Gougeres. It was on this forum that I found the recipe and fell in love with these treats years ago.

Have a safe New Years Eve and a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Gruet NV Rose.

[Carl Eppig]

We normally don't keep sparklers in the house, but we have a bottle of Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut that had our name (literally) on it at a spring wedding; so it goes pop tonight.

[Gary Kahle]

1996 Jean Laurent Blanc de Noirs is chilling and will be drunk with dinner (we're too old to make it to midnight).
Happy New Year to ALL,
Gary

[Rahsaan]

Initially we had no plans for sparkling wine. My wife is not a big fan (plus she's taking antibiotics at the moment anyway and won't be drinking) and I was more in the mood for red wine, so I had lined up 98 Jadot CM Amoureuses for dinner.

But, we made last-minute plans for a pre-dinner afternoon playdate (for the kids) and champagne toast (for the parents) to mark the holiday. So I bought an NV Pierre Moncuit BdB. I haven't had a Moncuit in years and am looking forward to it.

Hart Cellars 2010 Sparkling Cayuga. Well done, Howie!
