again, we love this vineyard and the sparkling wines they are producing in the french style. we shared this with friends over dinner and it was so well received. we also shared with our server who could not believe it was only $15-$20 per bottle at the winery.

3rd wine of the evening at our wine bash, I think this is a surprisingly good vintage sparkler with nice crispness, acidity and refined flavors of pineapple and citrus. Delightful, especially with the lump crab with beurre blanc and pea puree in a crepe. Due to the party nature of the evening no more detailed notes available.

Light-medium gold, very lively mousse. Still a yootz and could stand more years of development but is perfectly enjoyable now. Lighter texture, but precise balance. Perfect ringer for a Frenchy in the "under $80" category. 5+11+17+8 = 91

Very pleasant surprise! Half the price of a Veuve Clicquot and almost as good.

Lots of green apples and citrus on the nose and the palate. Good acidity, and a skosh of creaminess. Nice job here.
