Posted: August 3, 2009 By Bruce Sanderson
I was invited to a “bring your own bottle” Champagne dinner at Eleven Madison Park last week. It offered me the opportunity to taste more than a dozen interesting bubblies. They ranged from mature bottles of prestige cuvées from major houses to new and interesting labels from small growers.

Lately I have been getting interested in Australia’s progress with Cabernet Sauvignon. When Peter Gago, chief winemaker for Penfolds , offered to bring a few older wines when he came to visit this week, I suggested we focus on Cabernet.
