Sushi and Champagne is one of my favorite combinations. Indeed, almost all celebrations that @Cara Zimmerman and I enjoy together will include this duo. This was somewhat of a step up from our norm as Sushi Zo is a world apart from our usual delivery order of tuna and salmon rolls (with free edamame). Likewise this 1975 DP was rather more elevated than our weekly fizz.
Dark golden color with rich, brioche and mature elements. A touch too advanced but enormously attractive and retaining terrific purity and energy. Sushi and Champagne has rarely been such a treat. — 8 years ago

This is absolutely one of the best Rosés for the money. With good Rosés now hovering around $40, this producer is one of the top producers in Basque Country. While others have dramatically increased their Rosés prices, Ameztoi has inched their prices year to year.
Rosés have gotten so popular and their prices have skyrocketed relatively high in the last five years. So much so, I just read an article about fake Roses being produced in and exported out of France.
I selected this Rosé for Hedy’s Strawberry Gazpacho, Tarragon, Basil, Olive Oil. It married the bright fruits nicely, strawberry. The Rosé has just a bit of fizz from the carbonic tank process. The minerality & hint of herbs made for a even tug of war with the Tarragon & Basil.

Wow!! Fantastic farmer fizz. Seriously hits all the right Champagne notes for me. Nose is concentrated and generous with rich toasted nuts, fresh croissant, baked yellow apple, and a truckload of crushed chalk. The palate surprises with much more precision than the richer nose might indicate, which I LOVE and makes for a really interesting juxtaposition. Hits you with a heavy dose of crushed chalk, which opens up to lemon meringue and crisp orchard fruit, which then gives way to a yeasty, croissant finish, carried from attack to finish with rippling waves of laser-focused acidity and a fine mousse of bubbles. That fine mousse and skillfully managed lees aging provides some nice body, although it's still very lively and nimble. Just... so fucking tasty. — 9 years ago
Definitely on the sweeter side of semi-sweet. Great for a girls night or a romantic evening at home. I'm still pretty new to the world of wines, but so far this is one of my favorites. As another reviewer said, it is a very juicy taste, with a slight fizz. — 10 years ago

Wonderfully sippable Chardonnay from Williams Sonoma wine club. Buttery but citrusy. — 12 years ago
Strong apple and Chardonnay taste but delicious! Less bubbly than prosecco. Very enjoyable. — 7 years ago
Wonderful. I do that it looses its fizz quick. — 8 years ago
Deserves high praise. A ton of aromas from almond to wet iron, raspberry, chocolate. Fizz at the start, depth an hour later. Give it time to breathe, but drink a few sips of the unbreathed stuff right after uncorking too. — 8 years ago

Such a weird and interesting wine - secco spumante Lambrusco from natural fermentation. Its not a wine really like any others. Deep concentration in color, and aromas of pencil box, Luxardo Cherry juice, purple flowers, and black raspberry. The pallet is fully of bright acidity, with prominiate tannin structure, black currant, dried herbs, and chalk mineral, all encompassed by medium fizz - similar to any other spumante wine from Italy. Perfect for pasta with a tomato based sauce and a touch of spice, or pizza - served slightly chilled. Too cold and this wine is worthless... 50-55 degrees is perfect. Gotta say I've enjoyed this wine more than I care to admit. Cheers 😁 — 7 years ago
