Shoppe Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almonds aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with dessert.
Review: When smelling this wine I noticed an aroma of strawberries and bananas similar to the Georges Duboeuf wine. When tasting the wine, it tasted very similar to how it smelled, strawberry banana and it would definitely go well with a sweet food like a dessert.
No food in sight.
Also, I'd like to point out, that I was one of the last to finish each of these wines, probably holding everyone up, because I was trying to smell and taste "properly" to get all the flavors out of each one. I'll try and go during a less crowded time as to not hold everyone up. I really am beginning to enjoy the process of wine tasting.
