I feel the urge to celebrate this upcoming wonderful event with the best possible champagne. I've had okay champagne, and I've had the supermarket stuff, and I've had some really great champagne - but I don't know the name or what to ask for. Google has way too many recommendations. Can you suggest something? For this one time event, money is no object.

There must be some champagne experts here, right?

I would recommend the selection available at your local strip clubs in the area known as the Champagne Room. However you must remember that there is no sex in the champagne room.

Yeah, since you're celebrating a divorce, it's not the brand of champagne that matters! It's the strippers that you're drinking it with at the divorce party that makes all the difference :)

The Moet Chandon that illustri recommended is good stuff, though.

If you want a fairly good NV, then either Lanson Black Label or Piper Heidsieck are OK; for good stuff, then Krug or Bollinger are the ones to go for. Krug '88 is a good one, although pricey.
Krug only produces a Vintage when a crop has exceptional characteristics and sufficiently interesting features. To create exceptional vintages, the Krug family selects those wines that best express the "voice" of the chosen year. Krug Vintage is like a concerto, a joint venture between the Krug style and the personality of a certain year. The year is the soloist but the orchestra remains Krug.
Champagne Krug 1988
The release of Krug 1988 marks the first time in Krug's 158-year history that its vintage chronology has been reversed. The Krug family decided to present the tender, warm and mature 1989 vintage first, and hold its 1988 vintage in Krug's cellars to realize its full potential. Today, after more than a decade of bottle aging, Krug 1988 explodes on the palate with tremendous depth and complexity. The first impression is intense, yet it develops in the glass with delicacy, revealing lightly spiced notes of dried figs and ripe quince. Underlined by a superb structure, this wine maintains a remarkable freshness for its long aging.

I like Martini and Rossi's Asti (not champagne I know, but sparkling)...it's cheap and tasty. Real champagne doesn't taste good to me....even the top shelf stuff...same with cognac, one of my friends of dubious nature tried to get me to drink it all the time, I just couldn't....even bought me a $200 glass that I could not suffer down.

I am a beer man ;)
