The best value in Champagne and Sparkling Wine?

My wife and I count ourselves as connoisseurs of many things in the culinary world. But Champagne is not one of them. We have found that we enjoy a $15.00 bottle of Sparkling Wine just as much as a $200.00 bottle of Champagne. So I am wondering, what is the best of the cheaper Champagnes and Sparkling Wines? What it the best stuff under $40.00 per bottle? How about under $20.00 per bottle?

Good question and you absolutely correct with the price vs. quality or “pleasure factor” of a bottle of champagne. Dom Perignon is sooooooooooo over rated and not worth the money that people spend on it. For a nice bottle under $40 I would suggest a bottle Tattinger Brut Reserve or Demi Sec. Both are a fine French Champagne choice with very fine ( tiny) bubbles and subtle flavors of fresh fruit. The Brut Reserve has a hint of honey where as the Demi Sec is a little deeper in color and slightly bolder taste. If you want to stay under $20, I would stick with a nice bottle of Korbel. They are from California and have a nice selection of decent champagnes that will not break your bank! Cheers and Happy New Year!!!!
