Not sure what grapes are used to make this Rose’ Sparkling wine. Medium pink/copper color. Aromas and flavors of red apple, lemon, orange and pink flowers. Short and dry finish but relatively crisp acidity. Mousse and bubbles dissipate pretty quickly. More than drinkable but very basic. — 4 days ago

Medium ruby color with a slight orange rim. Aromas of rose petals, red bramble berry fruit, forest floor and iron. Flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, sweet Asian spices and tobacco. Long and lasting finish. So beautifully balanced and all about finesse. Silky tannins and wonderful texture. Every sip makes you look forward to the next. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Petey and Kase for sharing this amazing wine. — 5 days ago

Piedmont Dessert Style wine produced from Brachetto grapes. Pale ruby color which is a bit murky. Loaded with aromas and flavors of sweet bramble berry fruit, rose petals, strawberries and milk chocolate. Crisp acidity does help offset some of the sweetness. Lightly effervescent and low (7%) alcohol. Truely best with dessert but the ladies did enjoy it. Thanks Kase and Petey! — 5 days ago

Straw gold color with slight green highlights. Aromas of unripe stone fruit, white flowers and a beautiful note of sea spray. Flavors of peach and citrus fruit with distinctive mineral and slate notes. Nice touch of saline on the long and crisp finish. Beautiful mouth coating texture. Elegant, fresh tasting and beautifully balanced. Outstanding QPR! — 7 days ago

8.0

Sparkling blend of Cayuga and Muscat fruit from the Finger Lakes. Light yellow color. Aromas and flavors of green apple, lemon, white flowers and unripe peaches. Noticeable sweetness on the very short finish. Fast dissipating bubbles and mouse with limited acidity. Certainly drinkable but more toward a dessert quaff for me. — 4 days ago

White blend of Chardonnay (33%), Viognier (27%), Gelber Muskateller (24%), Roussanne (12%) and Petite Manseng (4%). Bright golden color. Beautiful aromas and flavors of peaches, apricots, sweet ginger, baking spices, white flowers, vanilla, toasted bread and blanched nuts. Lovely light hints of oak and vanilla on the long and lingering finish. Full bodied and beautifully balanced. Full bodied and rich. Incredibly creamy texture. Continues to improve as it opens up. Outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing, Kasey and Pete. — 5 days ago

Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Incredibly elegant aromas of ripe red fruit, purple flowers and tobacco smoke. Flavors of red plum, cranberries, huckleberries, freshly ground coffee, black licorice and toasted oak. Long and smooth finish with a slight toasted oak note. Medium-light bodied with very gentle tannins. Mild acidity but still well balanced. Elegant. — 6 days ago

9.3

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), Merlot (47%) and Cabernet Franc (6%). Dark ruby color with a few purple highlights. Savory aromas of burnt wood, asphalt, black fruit, smoky oak and purple flowers. Flavors of cooked blue and black berries, espresso, mushrooms, cassis and oolong tea. Long and smoky finish. Nicely balanced and extremely concentrated. Smooth tannins and quite the powerhouse. Heading past its prime but still extremely drinkable. Thank you for sharing this incredible wine, Kasey and Pete. — 5 days ago

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%), Merlot (7%), Petite Sirah (5%), Petite Verdot (2%) and Malbec (1%). Aromas of ripe black fruit, vanilla and cedar. Flavors of black berry/currant/cherry fruit, dark chocolate, tobacco and warm and sweet spices. Long and lingering oaky finish with a slight acidic bite. (Should mellow with bottle age). Tannins are extremely well integrated for such a young wine. Best with food and/or a decant. Solid with great potential. Thanks for sharing, Petey P. — 5 days ago

8.8

Northeastern Italian Pet Nat made from the rare Boschera grape. Dark golden color. Aromas and flavors of green apples, minerals, white flowers and a distinct yeasty quality from the Pat Nat process. Reasonable effervescence and a slight mousse. Bone dry and quite savory. Interesting but not spectacular. — 5 days ago
