What does success taste like?

Last weekend me and my sister traveled to Oulu to take part in our brother's and his wife's graduation party. Along with over a hundred other people we had a superb party - there's nothing like shiny, happy people celebrating the end of their studies and the beginning of something new!

Before the actual main banquet we joined a smaller group of my brothers friends to celebrate more intimately their success and drank the best champagne I have ever tasted. I'm not an expert in drinks and spirits but I know what I like and intrigued by the whole notion of "best". I can say for certain that both of the champagnes we drank, Krug and Dom Pérignon, were like liquid heaven. They are expensive, yes, but when you want the best and are celebrating the finest - something like this is what you want!

Very thankful and happy we could join the festivities and also glad that my concept of "the best" has been expanded when it comes to champagne! I will remember this weekend fondly for a long time.

P.s. Both champagnes we're so much better than anything I've tasted that I have a hard time saying either is better but if you put a gun to my head I'd recommend the Krug; it was just a touch sweeter in the right way and had more complex tastes to marvel. We also drank that first so that might be changing my perception.
