Wine Review: This light straw colored sparkling wine opens with lots of small streaming bubbles. On the nose, it features a bread dough bouquet with hints of lemon zest and golden delicious apple. It is medium plus bodied with medium acidity. On the palate, it is off-dry and creamy. The flavor profile is a caramel apple, Meyer lemon and King's Hawaiian rolls blend with notes of some gentle minerality, salinity and green apple on the finish. This good value sparkler would be a hit at holiday parties and would pair well with oysters or foie gras! Enjoy - Karen & Stuart

Winemaker Notes: Opens up with an enticing orange blossom bouquet, lively bubble trails and fine mousse. On the palate, the wine is creamy, clean, and refreshing. Flavors of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass, brioche, and vanilla crème resolve with lively mineral notes into a well-balanced finish.
