We had a champagne tasting with 3 bottles of champagne, Dom Perignon, Krug, and Ace. They were all spectacular but all 5 of us placed Ace as their top choice that evening. In fairness to the other two, they were not new to us. We knew we loved them. Ace was new and quite frankly, we didn’t expect it to be particularly competitive with our tried and true favorites. But it surprised us. Fresh, fruity, and smooth. All of that said? It still wasn’t enough better to warrant its price tag. Dom and Krug won’t lose their place in my wine fridge! And if I’m being honest, I’m not sure that we gave Ace the highest rating that night because it tasted better than the other two or because it just shocked us that it was even in the ballpark. But loved it, we did.
