Champagne tasting

Two of our friends are getting married in early September and last night, they hosted a champagne tasting evening to try different options for their wedding reception. Fortunately I was on a night off and so could enjoy myself! Eight bottles of champagne/sparkling wine were opened (and finished off!) and we had to score each one out of 10 and comment on the taste. My favourite was a sparkling wine, followed closely by one with a very smooth taste which reminded of Irish whiskey. Perhaps not exactly the best thing to look for in a champagne but I liked it!
