I’m back at USQ wines on Union Sq.
Great place to come and learn about wine for free...
this Scramsberg is very good. No need to buy French stuff, when the domestic product is so strong.
Delicate, toasty nose. Superfine bubbles which help to lift the texture. Baked bread and biscuits. Finishes with a hint of honey. Strong showing.

Very impressed with this US bubbly. Light on its feet, a hint of sweetness, and pin-point bubbles. Presents as a French example.

Granny smith apples, wet stones, elevated acidity, flinty characters, less of any Brioche if any.

One of the best entry cuvées out there of US sparkling wine. Always a pleasure matched well with our coconut shrimp. #wheninamerica #drinkamerican

Delicate, tiny bubbles, pale hued, dry beautifully balanced blanc de blanc bubbly.
