18th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Lyon Down Inn): Bought on name recognition alone, and the reps at the NYC Wine Experience said only 150 cases came into the U.S. How we got any in Eugene... This is a nice, very dry sparkler with grapefruit, lime, chalk notes buoyed by significant acidity and tinier bubbles than the next sparkler.

Saturday Fun at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Quite the interesting sparkler. Lots of chalky character. The palate is somewhat bitter with some good chalk character again. Not the most expressive or intense bottle, but this is quite delicious indeed.

Tasty little Giacosa number. Not great depth or length but good aromatics and nice palate appeal. Good yellow and melon fruits and a touch of yeasty flavor.

Saturday Afternoon at Domaine - featuring Nebbiolo (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): A bit bready at first, this fleshed out to have more citrus and spice with air. Pretty consistent notes across the 4 or 5 bottles I've had, definitely a really fun spumante from Italy.
