Buying wine shouldn't require a degree. But for most people, walking into a wine shop feels like walking into a final exam you never studied for.

MY FAVORITE: Champagnes (Blanc de Blancs)

Blanc de Blancs (French for "white from whites") is, to me, the most elegant style of Champagne made exclusively from white grapes. In Champagne, this almost exclusively means 100% Chardonnay. Blanc de Blancs have crisp acidity, linear minerality, and delicate lemon, white flowers, green apple, and brioche notes. When aged 10-20 years they develop insane complexity with notes of buttered mushrooms, salted caramel, and the most delicious applesauce.
