Sparkling Tasting at Wine Affairs Grand Opening
Saturday, wine tasting at J. Lohr lead my wife and I to Lemmon Percussion where a young drummer told us about a new wine store called Wine Affairs. Serendipity had it that Saturday was Grand Opening at Wine Affairs, complete with a sparkling tasting. Here’s the run down.
Canella Burt Rose NV - Italiano with really fine bubbles! This one rated highest on my palet (10.5). Cost - $20
Dom J Laurens, Speciale ‘04 - A nice blanc de blanc. I gave this one a 10. Cost - $20
Michel Dervin Champagne NV - Not too shabby. I tasted from the end of the bottle, probably a bit above recommended temp, but still–nice. Cost $29
Mont-Marcal Cava Burt Rose - Indigenous varietal of Spain. Also very nice. (Can you tell I love sparkling?) Cost $22
Roederer Estate Burt NV Anderson Valley - This domestic blend was the most expensive, but received my lowest score 8.0. (I wouldn’t kick it out of bed.) Cost $38
I left with a bottle of Canella Burt Rose (1/2 price for Grand Opening) to share with some good friends on Thanksgiving. They’re going to love it!
