Pours pineapple in color. ON THE NOSE: roasted nuts, butterscotch and toast with a hint of citrus. ON THE PALATE: the bubbles create a wonderful creaminess on your tongue followed by citrus, green apple, toasted bread and yeast. The finish as just a hint of sweetness. Tiny bubbles last a long time in glass

Anderson Valley Pinot Gris. High acid. Extra brut-ish.

Citrus, flowers, pine needles/sap, honey, green apple. Yay bubbles!

Whoa. Lively balance of softness and enveloping mouth with zingy citrus and mineralty. One of the most expressive domestic bubbles I've had.

Evolving nicely, with a distinctly saline minerality. White flowers, toast and grilled apricot. #lichenestate #swc

To new beginnings! Excited and humbled to work with incredible family owned, small wineries such as this.

Started and finished our tasting with this one, clearly the star of the show. Really exciting expression of the grape. Light and crisp, great mineral tones, should be fantastic with shellfish. Anderson Valley, not Willamette, @Delectable.
