Once Upon a Vine XIII - New Orleans, LA by Martin Wine Cellar (Pavillion of Two Sisters): Very nice, easy drinking Chardonnay based sparkler. I can see why many restaurants like this as their house sparkler. Decent fresh minerality on the nose. On the palate, lots of stone fruits, dry river stones, lemon creme and vanillin. Not ethereal, but very enjoyable.

Very drinkable sparkler without alot of complexity or finesse. Still young so could get better with a little more time.
