  December 31, 2012 - Lemonade on steroids! Lemon and peach quaffer, fairly insipid and thin. Really disappointing. Not much to this...

After having had a number of excellent Champagnes over the holidays, I just found this to be really disappointing especially at $50 / bottle at Flemings. Just didn't show well versus recent experiences with either Champagnes or American sparklers such as Schramsberg or Domaine Carneros. Could have been a bad bottle, but IMHO it just lacked body and complexity given the restauran tariff.

So here I am writing what I should have written in the first place, echoing your sentiments about Schramsberg, and coming across as long-winded in the process of explaining myself.. haha..
