aged champagne

[Jerry D Mead]

Sorry...I don't like your chances. Cook's is very inexpensive, very simple, fruity sparkling wine meant to be consumed shortly after it comes off the bottling line. With all that working against it, combined with less than desirable shortage, I'd say you'd better write this one off to sentiment.

Or have several bottles of your favorite Korbel on hand (I like their Chardonnay Champagne at the moment)and open the Cook's at the end of the evening with a smile and a warning that it may be awful...but how will I ever know unless we pop the cork.
