A nice chardonnay from a winery we've always enjoyed. Notes of butterscotch and caramel and even a hint of apple (such as honey crisp). Lemon on the palate, as well as oakiness, with slight acidity at the end. — 4 years ago

Little more yeast and a little more sugar makes it carbonated/sparkling
Champagne Method- using traditional grapes (PN, Chardonnay and Pinot M) but can be from any where
Naturale- zero dosage which means no sugar added
Brut- little bit of sugar, but still dry. Little sugar added allows for second fermentation in the bottle.
Cava has just as strict laws as champagne. Originally called Spanish champagne. 100% in the Champagne region. Use common Spanish grapes. Can only use approved grapes.
Fun Fact- if you do a rosado,’it has to only be a 100% of one particular grape. Can not be a blend.
Champagne taste on a great budget.
$18.99 at Hawthorne Bottle Shoppe

Clean and crisp, powerful acidity held in check by ripe fruit with green apple, lemon, acacia, mirabelle plum, wet stone, flint and toasted brioche, and Hawthorne. A bit of spice enters on the close. Great density on the palate with a long finish. Wonderful finesse. — 4 days ago
