My father bought a bottle to try. He said it was about $20.

Not bad stuff. Flavors of strawberry and berries.

I just wish that they could just keep the "Kirkland" brand mark off the bottle.

Why?

Because I am a snob.

Never heard of Kirkland in Champagne.

Where are they located?

Since you asked, I decided to see if I could figure that out.

Apparently, the Kirkland Signature champagnes are made by Janisson & Fil, located in the Village of Verzenay. However, it appears that most of the grapes are actually sourced from other vineyards.

Gotta love the Internet.

At that price, I would buy a bottle or two, just to have around the house in the event that a sudden need for champagne arises.

I bought a bottle last year in Total Wine if Florida. The salesman told me it was owned by Moet. It was innocuous. Not bad, but I can find better at a similar price from California.

True story.

For $19.99, I'm all-in for Argyle Brut (albeit Oregon).

For a few bucks more, it's Schramsberg.

I wouldn't use the phrase "all-in" right now.

And thanks for the honesty Rothko.

You are welcome.
