Very funky sparkling wine. A little cheesy and earthiness on the nose and palate. Worked well with French Onion Soup, but not sure I would like this with most foods, and certainly not on its own.

Meh, kind of one note. Good toast but could use more acid.

This was a very strong bottle. Some oxidized notes, but very complex. Nice!

A very decent champagne for the money/ Smooth drinking and pleasant taste.

Melville Clone Tasting AND pre-2000 California Cabernet: A little hollow in the mid-palate but otherwise a nice wine.
