Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes

 Tasted by FYC on 12/24/2017: A surprising amount of effervescence left in this. Lots of lemon acidity and just the slightest hint of mushroom and hazelnut on the nose with the suggest of honey on the finish. The Pinot fruit and acidity really shines through. I dare say even precise and linear. (654 views)
 Tasted by clayfu on 4/5/2017: Really really great bubbly. Still full of bubbles and life with a delicious sweet red fruit palate. Round and flavorful with just the right cut on it to keep it lively. If I didn't already know what it was, I would have guessed it was a 80s Cristal Rose (which people did when I blinded it). Seriously impressive bubbly. (1603 views)

Champagne Blend

"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.

However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
