We are bringing a very special selection this time out, as this we will be our last tasting of the summer. The vintage cuvĂ©es on our list are becoming more and more popular,and I refer to the straight vintage bottlings, not the more ubiquitous prestige bottlings that too often define what people know in these wines. 1999 was a very good year, and as we see more and more examples, perhaps a great year. It is only fitting that we sample these wines as we move next month into the 10th harvest season since. We will taste three extraordinary examples from three very different houses:  Gosset, Bollinger and the just recently released Bruno Paillard.  A perfect oppurtunity to see where these wines are now, and where they might be going in the near future.
