Champagne is for celebrating, not that I need a celebratory reason to open a bottle as I am hooked on champagne. 💉
However, after installing 27 solar panels and waiting an additional seven weeks for my Tesla, I/we have almost erased our carbon footprint. Finally picked it up today. I believe we all need to do our part to save the glorious vines that bring so much happiness to our lives. 🍷🥂👍
As for the Baron Fuentes, the is a very good Champange and is perhaps the best QPR out of Champagne at $24.99.
Bright lemon, lime, grapefruit w/ sugar, bruised red apple & pear, touch of ginger & cider, bread dough, baguette crust, sea spray, white spice with some palate heat, sea fossils, grey volcanic minerals, spring flowers, lilacs and yellow lilies. The acidity is bright, crisp and lively. The finish is smartly polished, well balanced and persistent for minutes.
Whoo hoo! So close to carbon free! 🍾🥂 — 5 years ago
One of my favorite Amaros, now repacked into an even smaller 700ml bottle to allow producer to keep retail costs down while increasing carbon footprint. I don't get it, but the spirit is still great.
It plays an almost perfect bitterness that isn't too aggressive and tapers nicely on the finish. Drier/more bitter the Nonnino. — 2 years ago
Didn't know what to expect from this - it has surprisingly lightweight glass bottle - low carbon 💚. Lovely, typical sour cherry aromas and leather verging on sweaty saddle aromas (not in a bad way IMO). Peppery cherry flavours and satisfying, robust, dry tannic finish — 3 years ago
Deep brassy-gold. Nose is very interesting: apricot, wet carbon steel, and a sweet umami-like note that slightly conjures anchovy. Deep and extremely low-toned flavors. Very Marsanne in its broad, low-toned notes and almost pungent, slightly bitter mineral finish. Unusual, but it works. — 5 years ago

This wine was described as meaty and chewy and I can honestly say that it was! — a year ago
