Cristal Champagne

For my 21st birthday i had decided to indulge myself so my friends and i went to the local warehouse liquor store (rte 22., New Brunswick, NJ) to purchase a large quantity of alcohol. We had heinekens, coronas, miller high life and before we left i saw this bottle of cristal and figured what the heck, its my 21st birthday. We had bought 2 bottles at $290 each. That night when we opened it up it was like heaven on earth, i can't even begin to describe it. Sweet with a toned down finish. Wow! It had made such an impression. It wasn't until recently that i couldn't halt the cravings anymore (yes it haunts me to this day) I had saved the bottle and saw that i had purchased a 1996 rose cristal and what was $290 is not almost $850 a bottle. It seems unfair that this treat now alludes me due to the price. Currently i am saving enough to buy another bottle. That is really scary.
