  April 24, 2024 - Ultra pale salmon color. Split bottle between the 3 of us from the list at Geronimo. This fit the bill nicely tonight. It's been awhile since I've had this and I will say it is my favorite of their lineup. Very fine and aggressive bead greets you from the start; lovely red strawberries, subtle pic crust, and yeast on the enticing nose. The palate is light, but well defined and very finessed. I love the pretty red berries, more strawberry, but still ripe raspberry comes through as well, dry, light and tingly, medium plus finish. Really enjoyed this, and I do need to add this to our summer repertoire at the very least.

  April 2, 2024 - Retail $16. Very Heavy Bottle (887g; 1lb 15oz). 100% Pinot Noir. OK. I am not going to lie: we bought a *ton* of this wine to serve my father-in-law when my wife's parents come over for dinner. Since they live a mere 250 feet away (not advised. At. All.), they come over often. Really often. Look, I love my in-laws, they really are fantastic, truly. But if I have the ball on my 20 yard-line, they are closer than a touchdown, and barely further than a couple of first downs. That is a bit daunting, if I am going to be honest. As for the wine? Always solid, always a good value, and always "good enough" to convince my FIL that it is actually a much more expensive champagne.

  January 14, 2024 - Gruet never disappoints. Affordable, tasty bubbles that are readily available. This worked very well with fish and chips – yes, you read that right!

  December 9, 2023 - The Sixth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine (Houston, Texas): Retail $17. 100% Pinot Noir. Fairly light in color in the glass with a bit of minerality and savory notes. Subtle fruit on the palate, but this certainly works. Quite fervent sparkle, nice. Excellent. 91 Points.

  July 3, 2023 - Acquired 2 years ago, disappointing for most of my family group tonight. Some claimed it was too “sweet” others thought it a little bitter. I thought it was pretty much as expected. Lightly fruity, yeasty and yes a touch of RS but wholly reasonable for its price point. I think I have spoiled my family with too much great wine!
