Saturday hangout (Chicago, IL): A very special and interesting bottle of bubbles, to say the least. I found this extremely compelling. It's almost impossible to compare this to Champagne, but boy does it match up well. There's a touch of autolytic character on the palate, but it's backgrounded with tons of fresh acidity and minerality. Given the age, there's a fair bit of heft to this wine too. An eye-opener (and my first Okanagan wine).

for being in bottle for so long the bubbles are aggressive in the beginning then settling down nicely. This wine has started to really show it self now, opening up great acidity and richness too

Creamy Blue Mtn Reserve, touch on off dry side, but tasty and a crowd pleaser

Fun Bubbles, Compared to the Regular Brut, this is just softer and more rounder then regular, very nice crowd pleaser, not as serious as the BdB
