While not the Prestige bottling this wine is so reliable and satisfying. The color is a solid straw-yellow gold. The lively mousse roils and lasts the length of the glass. Lean and loaded with mineral, citrus (with most of the citrus being white grapefruit), coconut and yeasty goodness. The mousse is all lacy. While not as creamy as the Prestige cuvee, the mouthfeel is full bodied and the finish lasts a long time. 12% alc. By itself and with winter root vegetable salad by Ian Boden. For DDB’s 50th birthday. (4 btls of the stuff!) (Karen Frank, Butch and Lynne Smiley, Doug and Marnie Sheets and Leslie Boden around the table. Highly Recommended.

Just as it was 2 weeks ago. With duck, acorn squash soup, and crab cakes for Thanksgiving as we’re joined by GRY and MMS.
