	I can't agree with you here.  I don't care for the smell of this
	bubbly, I find it rather "skunky."  It is cheap, though.  I often
	see it on sale for ~ $3.99.  OK for Mimosas, I suppose.

	I would heartily recommend "Domain Chandon" from California.  I
	have only tried the Brut (they also have a blanc de blancs.)  It
	can be had for ~ $9.00 on sale.  It is *fantastic!*  I had some
	Mumms recently and was really disappointed.  I used to think that
	was excellent champagne.  BTW I believe that this is the CA version
	of the more well known "Moet Chandon" of French fame.  Try it!
