  January 19, 2023 - Pear with floral and slight yeasty notes. There is slight sweetness on the clean, straightforward palate.

  January 9, 2023 - I don’t usually score wines that don’t jive with my palate but this bottle stood out as offensive.
  GRAEMEG says it all.
  If you see this in a shop, do yourself and your friends a favor: look left, look right, spend $5 more, spend $5 less. This is not for drinking.

  December 13, 2022 - Green apples, lemon, pineapple and hint of minerals on the nose. Fresh on the palate. Slightly bitter in the middle and finish. Balanced acidity. Ok wine. 84p

  November 27, 2022 - Just re-read my note from 2017 and I could type it out again! A fairly coarse, even harsh, sparkler, medium weight but all sour fruit of marginal ripeness. Paw-paw, rockmelon, but no charm at all. Vigorous, pointy bubbles, little yeast character or other complexity, medium weight, short finish. No second glass for me, it was that under-whelming.
