4. The list would be too long if you include all of the champagne houses in each place. We loved visiting Dom Perignon but were disappointed that they didn't have the better ones available for sale at a reasonable price (only the budget versions).

nyt- that was my excuse for not answering #4 - too many to name.
thank you Percy for your unbiased appreciation of my talents, such as they are.
I'll try to restrain myself from now on, but Pal's quizzes are too tempting.
