Drank after a 1990 Dom Perignon and actually it didn't suck, considering. In fact, this was the best bottle that I've had of these! Who'd have thunk it'd improve over time... the first few bottles were quite rough but this one was very nice.

One of the worst QPR's I've ever tasted. There's an ocean of cava and prosecco more interesting than this. No nose to speak of, dull on the palate with bracing acidity. Barely suitable for mimosas.

Lots of tart Granny Smith apples, with maybe a little pear - like pear cider. For a late disgorged wine, I couldn't detect much yeast or breadiness at all. So that was rather disappointing. It is a pleasant enough wine but poor qpr since it is rather one-dimensional.

I'm not a sparking wine drinker so it would not be fair for me to rate. That being said, this didnt do anything to change my mind. I cant really pick up anything by way of notes. Tastes generic, but again, this is not my thing.

Good stuff for what it is. Hell, just good stuff. With a sense of humor. :-)

Made a pleasant enough dinner pairing with fairly spicy red curry Thai chicken. I definitely tasted yeastiness, even at this late date.

Nothing to write home about, but solid and well-made. Maybe not the best QPR but the label was funny.

Plain and simple, sparkles with bubbles but little flavor, good in a mimosa. We all bought the bottle because of the label anyway, admit it...

Not awful, but not really memorable either. All the usual sparkling wine stuff is there, but it's not very well put together.

This is identical to the Windsor Vineyards 2001 Brut. Green apple, nothing crazy. Fun label.

Fairly standard California sparkling wine. Nothing spectacular, but nothing terrible, either.
