Tried new batch. Lucien Albrecht pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. Pale lemon color, fine bubbles with a light creamy mousse and aromas of fresh stone fruit with biscuit scents. On the palate ripe apple, citrus and peachy flavors with nice mineral tones, dry with vivid acidity. Lingering finish with good balance ending with fruit, slight mineral and yeast tang. Excellent value as a Champagne alternative! Consistent quality. — 4 years ago

Bright lemon zest, golden apple, pineapple, with secondary shortbread and guava fruit notes. Fruit forward with hints of toast and yeast. Palate hits with soft tropical citrus and orchard fruit, developing into a round mid-palate and driving acidity to finish. Length is above par and evolves. Minerality tingles on the palate. Excellent QPR from #winetext. Happy New Year!! — 6 years ago

Nice and dry. Good for the price. Pairs well with a side of Arctic Monkeys’ AM while you cross off another year since their last release. 🤷🏻‍♀️ — 8 years ago

R.H. Coutier Cuvée Tradition Brut Champagne Grand Cru ‘Ambonnay’ NV: Consisting of 80% Pinot Noir & 20% Chardonnay, this champagne offered tremendous flavor, great acidity, low dosage and a long, crisp finish. Elegant notes of apple, peach, lemon zest, cream & toast make this a wonderful celebration choice! Today, Sept 27 concludes the last birthday of the September month for my family (4 of 4). Happy 4th Birthday to my daughter and to all my September birthday family & friends! Have a great week! Cheers🥂🎂🎉🎁 — 4 years ago

Winery located in Alba, the Piedmont region was founded by its namesake in 1881. Great Grandson, Pio Boffa, continues the tradition of innovative wine making. Ruby with dried red fruit aromas and herb floral scents. On the palate sour cherry & raspberry, cinnamon, toasty nuts, licorice and herb notes. Full soft tannins bring fruit to lingering finish ending with earthy mineral. Wonderful! — 6 years ago

Pop tart brown sugar and molasses. Then a little fruit - fuzzy dried apricots, ripe red cherries, white flowers, and toasty brioche. Flavors of lemon ice and white peach with a bitter almond skin twist at the end. Exquisite. — 6 years ago

Better than I remember from previous bottles. Quite round but still precise, with excellent body and good minerality. Impression of sweetness while still being dry. Nice. — 8 years ago

The bottle gets a 9.0, but I want to give it a 10.0 because the Skurnik portfolio, to an extent, has hit Mississippi! A big moment for the troubled relationship my state seems to have with good European wine. Nice more robust style Gamay. Not particularly my cup of tea, but it tastes damn good tonight. Now it is time to see more than bottom of the bin burgundies around! — 4 years ago

Had this a year+ ago, tried a new batch, noticed label color changed. A big fan of Tawny Ports, especially the 20 year blends are a Fav. Fonseca Port was founded in 1822 and successive generations of the Guimaraens family have upheld the Company’s reputation. Medium amber color with aromas of honey and pronounced nutty notes. On the palate ripe dried fruits with sweet cinnamon spice and oak emerge from the glass. Soft tannins long smooth finish ending with a sweet nutty character. Very nice. — 5 years ago

Estate had prior succession problems & split into 2 with original Clos L'Eglise (Rouchut family) on one side and Clos L'Eglise-Clinet (Mauléon family)on the other. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, wonderful warm aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry & Strawberry flavors, with notes of cinnamon & nice energetic mouthfeel. Firm tight tannins that are beginning to open but should continue to age well. Put on Must Try list — 8 years ago
