  November 16, 2012 - Hmmmm. I came across this on the internet and I am a sucker for sparkling wine and this one is made from Alsatian varieties. I thought this was a no brainer. I had a bottle of the 2010 the other day and it was interesting--a cross between a traditional sparking wine and moscato. This wine was interesting in another way--it was old, and it was not a good thing....

  April 7, 2007 - pale gold color with some bubble son pouring, but only slight beads in glass. nose shows some alcohol, surprising for a sparkler. behind it is some white grape skin, green apple, and unripe pear. a little tingle on the tongue from well-balanced acidity, combined with the bubbles makes the mouth feel quite nice. flavor profile is somewhat muted, with the same green apple and pear dominating. light bodied and alcohol that was present on the nose does not show on the palate. good finish. cheap bubbly that you don't have to save for a celebration -- but there are many better for the money. A nice bottle, nice story to tell, this is a crowd pleaser.

  December 3, 2005 - Birthday Night out (Tulsa, OK): A rather simple sparkling wine, with apple and pear aromas and flavors. Crisp and fairly refreshing.
