The goal of this blog is to delve into the delicious and bubbly world of sparkling wines, and at the same time, continue to offer my amateur review so other newbies can maybe learn a thing or two as well as find a yummy bottle. Simple terms. Simply delicious.

Humberto Canale Extra Brut
Cost: $15
Smell: Rich grapes
When it touches the tongue: Juicy berry
Aftertaste: Sweet (tiny hint of tart) grapes. Very dry.
Overall: It's very light. The combination of fruitiness & dryness is awesome. It's not sweet in a sugary way, just a rich fruity way. Alcohol taste is barely detectable. This would be good in a mamosa too!

Louis Bouillot Perle de Vigne "Grande Réserve" Brut
Smell: Bitter grape
When it touches the tongue: Sour, tart grape
Aftertaste: Bold & very tart
Overall: I was not a fan. It had a super tart aftertaste that was just too much. The only sweetness seemed to come from sugar.

Croser Vintage Piccadilly Valley
Smell: Watery grapes, sweet
When it touches the tongue: Noticable acidity
Aftertaste: Tart, almost bitter, grape
Overall: I decent sparkler, but not one I would get again. It was very acidic and had a tartness (not sweetness) that was not as pleasing.
