Baked apple, brioche, slight oxidation, bone dry, crisp acid and yeasty. Our reward for putting up porch lights.

Deep coppery gold. Nose and palate of dried apple and brioche. Very lengthy dark-ish yeasty finish.

Deep gold. Shy nose as we served well chilled. On the palate, dried apple and toasted biscuit. Long yeasty and slightly dark finish. Incredible QPR. The real deal, folks!

Would have guessed Blanc de blancs. Dry, and fine bubbles. Well done.

Lots of green apple flavors with some honey notes. Good balance and acidity. Consistent, as this tastes very similar to the 2012 vintage. Nice bubbler!!

Good mimosas start with good bubbly. This is terrific bubbly, so we had terrific mimosas.

Lots of Apple flavors with honey notes. Deep golden color. Interesting. Heard about Gruet and glad I finally tried it.

What happened to Gruet? They used to be a dependable producer of affordable, quaffable domestic sparkling wine. This offering was dreadful...
