Community Tasting Note

    March 17, 2024 - This bottle of bubbles was fine, and with the few thousand notes from my CT brethren, I think every facet of this straight down the middle bottle, leaves nothing to be said that hasn't already been mentioned.

    Is it great or spectacular. No.
    Is it memorable. Nada
    Is it full of character and elegance. Not even close.
    However, is it off-putting or poorly made or unable to match with food. Again, No.
    It's just plain decent and will not offend anyone.

    I won't buy it again, because it's a little too boring.
    But, it's supposed be..... In order to ensure the masses will buy it.
    And, I'm certain they do.

    Many will love it.
    It's just not trying hard enough for me.

    (Now, I should say that I can wax on about many wine "genre's", after decades of experience.
    Bubbles isn't anywhere near as engrained in my brain, palate or even my notes. However, in the past 6 months, I've embarked upon " drinking the rainbow", which includes sparkling wines, and I've had really great and really brutal examples of dozens of bottles.
    Maybe in a year I'll become as well versed as I'd like in order to speak with some level of experience. Presently, I am aware of my lack there of, but only because of quantity, not quality.)

    (Fresh strawberries, Dark chocolate dipped)

    PS- Drink The Rainbow!
