Cambria Dog-Friendly House

If you are looking for a rental in the Paso Robles Wine Country, you might want to check out Cambria. It’s a pretty little village with lots of empty beaches and a great location to relax between winery visits.
We found the perfect little cottage for Hubby, Tulip and I. We loved it and would definitely stay here again. I especially loved the back and front decks, the quiet location and the big kitchen table where we were able to spread out our camera gear and laptops. I recommend Breen Realty, ask for Bob, the manager, he’s a fellow wine enthusiast.
Hi Girl,
I have enjoyed your blog.
In cleaning my father’s apartment I found a box with 9 bottles of Dom Perignon champagne 1982. It has been horizontal but was just stored in his kitchen. A kind of hot stuffy kitchen. I am wondering two things. Is it still good, or is it even better because it’s 26 years old? And if it is good, what is the best way to store it?
Thanks
Wow, too bad he didn’t enjoy it while it was good! A Vintage Dom Perignon is awesome, alas, storing it in anything less then ideal conditions most likely ruined it. Interestingly enough, bubbly should be stored sitting up unlike still wine because of the unique flared cork. You want to keep the cork flared and away from the wine. Also, if the kitchen got over 55 degrees on a regular basis, the wine is probably cooked. But hey, here’s the fun part. You get to open one and taste it. Tasting older vintages is different then drinking older vintages. To taste, get a wide mouthed red wine glass and pour it 1/3 full. This way you can really watch the bubbles and smell the aroma. I suggest you go out and buy a really nice 1998 Dom Perignon from a well-run wine shop and after pouring out the 1982, toast your Dad’s health with a fine bubbly.
