  Book Club (Foretti's): Blind: thought this was Petit Meunière.
  
  The aromas from this glass scream classic champagne sparkler. Beautiful, tart, lime, green and red apple. It’s a bit foamy in the mouth, especially at the finish. I like this wine, and I have a great appreciation for what it represents, the all inclusive sparkler.

  Bookclub (served blind)--My Turn (Foretti's in Corona Del Mar): Disgorged October 2022. 4 grams of dosage. This is the 2020 base, with the perpetual inclusion back to 2005 (the plot was planted in 2003, and is still horse farmed as the total surface of this plot is pretty small). It's a blend of all 7 approved cepages, with varying ratios of just 8% for the Arbanne, up through 18% each for the Chardonnay and Meunier. Aroma here is distinctive, kinda leesy to me although Astrid used plantain when we were discussing the wine. Tension with good savory citrus. Saved a glass of the wine under stopper, will retry again this evening (from last night's remainder)....remains with a savory and gamy note the day later, and the best way I think I can describe it as kind of a tropical savory that makes the wine unique. Also a crisp red fruit/apple and green banana note to the wine that adds more complexity and drives much of the finish. Dig it!
