Another great Weekly Wine Committee in the books, this time hosted by Dan. Format stayed the same (1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine) and everything is guessed blind.

100% loved this. Very crisp and yeasty, but a lot of fruit was there, mainly grapefruit. I guessed French champagne correctly, but assumed NV as it was so fruit forward.

Still really love this and it’s showing just as well (but not necessarily better) than a few years ago. Wish I had more. Very well balanced with perfect micro bubbles. Refreshing at the same time as a bit interesting.

Softer bubbles and more of a crisp white wine flavor. Very nice.

Matured at least 36 months... Pinot noir and 30% Chardonnay...apricots and honey notes; their rose is great too
