Description: Welcome to Champagne Madness where 8 champagnes enter and but only one can take home the title of CHAMPION! I picked up some more expensive champagnes and some not so expensive champagnes and faced them off in a march madness style bracket to answer the question - Is expensive champagne worth the hype? Pick up some of these bottles, and other bottles from the HTD collection at Curiada! People ask me all the time where to get the bottles I am using on the show and I always point them to Curiada, where not only can you get most of the bottles, they will deliver them to your front door - bit.ly/bottlesh2dcuriada 00:00 - Opener 00:14 - What is a champagne bracket? 01:46 - Meet the players 02:20 - A quick "what is champagne?" 03:05 - Round of 8, Heat 1: Cristal vs Cooks 04:17 - Heat 2: Dom vs Gruet 06:59 - Heat 3: Argyle vs Perrier 08:15 - Heat 4: Moet vs Veuve 10:05 - Final Four, Heat 1: Argyle vs Cristal 13:11 - Heat 2: Veuve vs Dom 14:59 - Championship Round: Cristal vs Dom 17:31 - Winner announced 17:53 - After game report 19:29 - Sign off Champagnes in competition (From most to least expensive): $309.00 - Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2013 $269.00 - Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 Brut $199.99 - Pirrier-Jouet Brut $69.99 - Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut $56.99 - Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut $22.99 - Argyle Brut $16.99 - Gruet Brut $10.32 - Cooks Brut Slowly but surely, I'm starting a mailing list so that I'm not fully dependent on YT's algorithmized notifications system.
