Wonderfully dry and crisp but full of flavor. Seems to me like 2009 is certainly worth the declaration

2009 Pere Mata L’Origen Gran Reserva Brut Nature
2009 Pere Mata L’Origen Gran Reserva Brut Nature (+ small dosage)
2009 Pere Mata L’Origen Gran Reserva Brut Nature (+ must)


It was very interesting and fun to learn what can be done with the ol' Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada. These examples have a few more years of life to give and I would rebuy if offered.

When the term “baby-killing” is used in wine parlance, it’s rarely mentioned that babies can be delicious

This wine has a lovely future ahead, in my humble opining

I suppose it's a "must-try" for vintage Champers fans, but I don't think I'll be seeking out more than what I have. Struck me as too generic

NV Laherte Frères Champagne Grand Brut Ultradition


With football and king crab and mac & cheese last evening, mostly pinot menieur, quite dry and refreshing with that red-grape extra body. When it warmed up in the glass the red fruit came out and it leaned towards rose Coteaux Champenois, really nice. Purchased 5 years ago, so while no disgorgement date, it's been aged a bit.

Yup, it's a good one and it was reasonably priced here in Ontario. I've gone through 11 of my case of 12. Hoping we see it here again sometime, but knowing the KGBO it's unlikely.

We have oysters on Thursday when we're in Idaho and the seafood guy is in town so it's normally a Sparkling Thursday for us, although it does feel like a Saturday after we've finished the sparkling.

I didn't make a note of the Schram because it was a party bottle, but it was excellent with what seems like a long life ahead or it

pretty good for $18

Enjoyed this much more and I think half the cost.
