2004 Dom Perignon paired with salmon roe, butter and baguette.
Have been saving this bottle for my wife's completion of her CPA journey. Opened last night after she finally got her letters.

Tasting notes:
Rich golden colour with a fine perlage.

Notes of mushroom, brioche, lemon, and green apple on the nose. Was muted to start, but really opened up after about 15 minutes.

Medium+ body, high acidity, long finish with same flavours as on the nose.

It's hard to judge QPR on wines like this as you could definitely find better options, but for a special occasion it definitely hit the spot. This is the oldest (not the earliest vintage, but with the most age in bottle) Dom I tried and probably the best (I really like tertiary notes in vintage champagne, but it's not for everyone)

    Congrats to her! The best part of finally passing is looking back at it in few years saying thank god you did it and also, there’s no way I’d ever pass it again 😂😂

    Congrats! I’m a cpa as well, those exams are no joke. I celebrated with a meal at 5 guys when I passed, although I should’ve bought a bottle of ‘04 Dom instead, probably would’ve been cheaper.

    Forget about QPR. ‘04 Dom is wonderful and just the thing for the occasion. Congrats to your wife, that’s a huge achievement and a fantastic wine to celebrate it.

  6. Becoming a CPA in 2025 is wild but congrats on the accomplishment.

    Congratulations! I’m sorry but can someone tell me what a CPS is?

  12. Every CPA advises “spend money you don’t have on things that are only temporary”.

    That’s a special bottle!! Congratulations to her! I’m a recovering CFO. Champagne is the OG for sure but also try Oregon Sparkling for a great wine and also the QPR is fantastic.
