Brut Nature Vintage Reserva Cava Xarello Parellada 2014

Cava, blend Macabeo based, brut nature so no sweetness added. Prepared with the traditional method.

Big pop of the cork, lot of mousse in the glass, 6 streams of well aligned and lively bubbles.

Medium intensity of flavours of apple cake, bread and brioche. Buttery with a lot of nice toastiness. Also a bit of flinty minerality and citrus notes.

It is dry, with medium-high acidity and medium body. Medium-long finish.

Santo Wines

Brut Methode Traditionnelle Santorini Assyrtiko

A featherweight sparkling Assyrtiko made in the Champagne method. A fine mousse with a slight leesy character - it tastes of sea foam, almond dust and white rose petal. Clean, fresh and very easy to drink. 100% Assyrtiko, Santo is the first Santorini producer to craft a sparkling rendition of this grape variety. — 6 years ago

Brut Trento DOC Chardonnay

A really well made and structured sparkling wine from Trentino. Northern Italy does make some solid traditional method sparklers. 100% Chardonnay. Plenty of lemon and lime citrus here with a nice amount of bread and biscuit. A great value! — 7 years ago

This 100% Chardonnay sparkling wine from California is made in the traditional method.

On the nose, yeast, cheese and some funk.

Nice vintage sparkling wine with high acidity, yet not too crisp.
Well made and very enjoyable.

One of my favorite Rosés of all time! Rosé of Cabernet, with hibiscus, and roses. Strawberry & watermelon. Dry. So much fun! Saignée method of production, less than 200 cases per year. The QPR is outstanding, IMO. $18 retail. — 10 years ago

Passo Doble Malbec Corvina 2014

Reserva Herederos del Marques de Riscal Rioja Tempranillo 2011

In 1858, it was the first winery in Rioja to produce wines using the Bordeaux method. In 1972, it was the first to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin. A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo. Spicy complex aromas of ripe dark berry fruit. On the palate, Berry fruits with sweet and peppery spice and toasty oak. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight earthy tones. — 7 years ago

Coates & Seely (Britagne)

Methode Britannique Brut Reserve Chardonnay Blend

Classic method from Hampshire in the UK, 12%. My first taste of sparkling wine from Great Britain. Light, but intense yellow color, with very fine perlage. "Cold" nose, with scents of confectionery, but a bit "pollaio" too. In the mouth immense acidity (a bit too much for me), and very citrous . Not my favorite. 81/100 — 10 years ago
