Tart, herbal, lactic like a kombucha. Cidery. Lemony, very refreshing. Was about to give this 8.9 but the mouse is developing quickly with air, unfortunately. Drink quickly.

Super crisp and tart. Crunchy gooseberry, star fruit, jicama, lime, lemon zest, wet river rock, oyster shell, unripe green apple, basque cider. Super fine creamy mousse. Excellent for shellfish, sushi, and oysters. Extremely refreshing.

wow- this is so nice and balanced! lightly yeasty, a little more demi than demi-sec, if that makes sense and very refreshing- I could drink a bunch of this with a whole bunch of oysters... lobster... shrimp...

Robert Frost seems appropriate here...
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

A beauty. Fresh and clean with perfect bubbles. Perfect way to start the meal.

Drank more like a good, dry hard cider than a wine - could not believe it was Cayuga & Seyval Blanc. Refreshingly different. (Part of a matched tasting at Persimmon, Bristol, RI.)
