Personalized Engraved Gift Ideas…

Past blogs have briefly discussed the history and value of Dom Perignon champagne, which is a featured product at Engrave-A-Remembrance, perfect housewarming gift ideas, retirement gift ideas, or as wedding engraved gifts. This blog will further educate customers about the taste and types of Dom Perignon champagne, to help in your decision about making those retirement gift ideas a reality.

                There are several varieties of Dom Perignon, so we will just focus on a few here. Understanding the scope of flavors and differences between some of the years can help in your decision making process as well. First, let’s look at the Dom Perignon 2000. This is a likeable champagne. It is relatively uncontroversial, light, somewhat citrus-y, and has a mineral sort of taste to it. Some have even described apple and biscuit flavors, which is a crispy, warm accent. The champagne finishes slowly, a long and spicy  way with what might be described as pencil flavors. It’s a clean champagne, and it really captures the essence of classic Dom Perignon.

Then there’s the Oenotheque 1995. This is actually quite a bit different in taste from the 2000.  It is a more mature and pleasant, smooth wine. It smells rich, and gives off nutty aromas with what might be described as honey and toast. The entire palate is rich throughout the whole experience, and there is a lot of heather honey. The flavors move into a salty, cracker flavor. Finally, it flows into a lemon finish, and crisply it ends. This champagne isn’t particularly cheap, but it is a treat for a special occasion. It makes an excellent housewarming gift idea or wedding personalized gift idea.

The last champagne we have to look at is the 1985 Dom Perignon. It is rich, with honey, cheesy, and even a bit floral-like. The palate is relatively intense, with a sort of woodland mushrooms, soil, lime pith and even a malty element to it. There are pockets of spice, as well. Everything swirls together and becomes delightfully satisfying.

Remember these choices and the scope of Dom Perignon when you’re brainstorming retirement gift ideas, and other special occasion gift ideas. You really can’t go wrong with this champagne.

Personalized Housewarming Retirement and Wedding Gifts…

One of our most popular champagnes we sell at Engrave-A-Remembrance is Dom Perignon, which may be an ideal housewarming gift idea, retirement gift idea, or even a wedding engraved gift for a special couple in your life. Dom Perignon is not the most common name that people hear in regard to champagnes, so this blog will tell you a bit about what characterizes it, which may help you in deciding if you’d like to make it a wedding personalized gift, or someone’s housewarming gift!

                As an overview, Dom Perignon is a type of vintage champagne made by the champagne house called Moët & Chandonand. This type of champagne serves as that house's reputed champagne. The name comes after a Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon, who was an integral pioneer for champagne wine. However, although many people believe otherwise, Dom Perignon actually did not discover the champagne method for making sparkling wines.

                Dom Pérignon is always produced as vintage champagne, meaning that it is not made in weak years, and all grapes used to make the wine were harvested in the same year. This aspect is important to many connoisseurs who notice the difference in the years the champagne was produced.

                When thinking about housewarming gift ideas, you may like to consider this champagne gift set, because it is very high quality product, valued internationally. Dom Perignon is quite a desirable brand, and thus is often traded at wine auctions. A recent wave of auction price record highs started in 2004, commencing with the sale of the Doris Duke collection at Christie’s in New York City. Furthermore, on April 17, 2010 a new record was set in Britain according to the Daily Telegraph. Buyers would have spent more than £35,000 for Methuselah (6L) 1996 Dom Perignon Champagne Rose (Rose Gold).

                Friends and family will appreciate an investment in this champagne, so in thinking about those wedding engraved gift ideas, or other retirement gift ideas, remember that Dom Perignon is something to be savored and valued.
