Since the New Year's resolution in 2020 is to drink more Champagne, which in my case means a bottle a week for the rest of the year, I have to balance quality with price in order not to empty the coffers. The prices at the company range from 195.- up to 3390.- so I will definitely avoid worse and more expensive varieties, but trying "cheaper" but decent ones is among other things. a track I will follow. To balance out a good mix in the wine cellar, I have now stocked up with bottles in the price range up to NOK 400. Have looked quite carefully at the company and found thirteen goodies to put in stock. Half was on the shelf and the rest on the order range. Later in the spring, there will also be a bus trip to Champagne itself with as yet unknown friends from the Facebook group "Champagne". It will be a mess. Pretty cool!

As usual this year, Captain Mat has docked his ship in the Dolomites and in the village of Moena in Val di Fassa. The whole valley just breathes good food, nice wines and a wonderful atmosphere with good friends. The skiing is phenomenal on endless and well-groomed slopes. However, the grill was a bit noisy to take with you, but you can always sneak a good bottle of Champagne with you.
