Pizza dough and lemontini. Bready and cloying. Appeals to those looking for something yellow with bubbles. I know a decent amount about the 2020 vintage in general 'round these parts, but I don't…
Aaah the standard Schramsberg BdB... The Caymus of Champagne... or rather, the Caymus of California "sparklers." Doughy, pie crusty, lemon curdy, banana peely, creme brûléey, high dosagey,…
Previous note applies. A good first-start-sipper kind of sparkler. Simple but flavorful and balanced enough to hold interest and offer pleasure. An "easy does it" beverage.
Easy-going notes of frothy watermelon, pink grapefruit, orange rind, and dough. A little yeasty and overly carbonated, but a decent enough conversation sipper nonetheless. Short and somewhat clipped…
Crisp and refreshing, with a frothy, brioche note on the back end that carried the light yellow citrus fruit on through the finish. Nothing super enticing or complex, but paired well with a spicy and…

A very smooth and inviting style, with creamy almond and brioche notes to compliment the ripe pear and lemon curd flavors. More on the round side, with the acid and minerality in the background from…
...Ehhh... It was ok. Tolerable and went ok with food, but it had a strawberry mousse aftertaste that came off a little protein drink smoothy-like. Even at this QPR, there are other Brut Roses that…
It does the job, and that's about it. Don't expect too much. Profile is a bit linear and dry, with a thin citrus streak on the back end. An ok summer sipper primer before you start your meal.…
Of three sparkling wines tasted side-by-side (with a Frank Family rose and a Thienot Champagne), this was a close second for me, just behind the beautiful Thienot (my #1). Others thought the Thienot…
A pleasant sparkling. Decent foam and a user-friendly mouthfeel and profile that never offends. A good-to-go drink when you want a sparkling white on a hot evening. Paired great with crab jalapeño…
