We've had a couple of this producer's wines before – in fact, this winery was one of the motivating factors to making this trip....the room was worked by two women, both friendly and really knew their stuff. So how does this place hold up to scrutiny?
Here's how it works: They only making sparkling wines, you get two free samples, and for $5 you can get two glasses of your choice plus crackers and cheese.
Sandpiper – peachy nose / light bodied, sweet and peachy, though quite good for a sweeter sparkler, somewhat like a sparkling muscat
Blanc de Blancs – hell yeah – dry, crisp green apple with citrus notes.
US – not too much jumped out at me here, fruity and a bit of sugar.
Cremant – not a whole lot on the nose / palate is quite nutty, a bit of apple and orange zest, good stuff.
Talismon – yeasty and toasty with green apple, quite good.
Sex – smells sweeter than it is, a bit of peach and grapefruit, good stuff.
Blanc de Noir – toasty, yeasty, citrus zest – very good, probably the best of the lot.
Easily the best sparkling wines in the area – and best of all, to our palates, were the mid-priced ones – excellent.
