While Mumm occupies one of the most iconic sites in Champagne, Moulin de Verzenay, it’s just not popular in the U.S., so it’s easy to dismiss Mumm Napa as a cheap supermarket brand. Well I’m glad I tried this.

While this PN dominated Rose lacks the refinement of a Champagne, the abundance of fresh fruits such as cherry, strawberry, watermelon, grapefruit, and citrus make this a joy to drink. Crisp, energetic, and dry, this is so good for under $20. — 19 days ago

At the Penfolds Californian Collection Dinner at the Downs Club on Monday night. This is their brand new French Champagne venture with Thienot - a vintage Cuvée from 2012. Initially white flowers, citrus and sliced apple notes. Limited notes. A delicate Champagne with a creamy nutty texture. A better summer than a winter Champers I would venture to say. Very good nonetheless. Technical details: 50/50 Pinot Noir/Chardonnay (I would not have picked this), Dosage of 4 grams per litre; Full malolactic. — a month ago

1961- I mean 1961 - the Somm delivered and @David L and I were blown away - cork was in excellent shape - tannins were strict but silky - - nose on par - pine peach licorice- the color was brand new - crazy - I mean all you ever want in every way - it could go another 20 years - I was taken back - extraordinary- a Bordeaux grand cru that is actually grand — 2 days ago

Cremant is a personal favorite because it’s champagne without the name brand price. This has light apple, pear, citrus, and yeast. Makes for easy drinking or fancy mimosas. — a month ago
