The QPR is often better than that which you can find in California sparkling and I find a certain refinement to the wines that seems to be lacking in the more rugged, and sometimes gassy wines from the Loire. Pretty, I find many, including the Albrecht, to be delicate and pretty.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-68437469718381852302011-03-10T20:57:37.811-08:002011-03-10T20:57:37.811-08:00ah, yes.

The other extreme of the spectrum is Guinness, either charged with a nitrogen canister on the tap or using the little widget inside the bottle. Nitrogen bubbles are freakishly small, leading to that foam that is almost like meringue. <br /><br />I've found the best (and vintage) Champagnes I've tasted to be full of bubbles closer to Guinness than Coke, though I've had some Champagne that was pretty close to the Coke end of things. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-61082438393912079502011-03-08T20:15:08.374-08:002011-03-08T20:15:08.374-08:00Hey buddy... sorry for the absence.

I think all Cremants have to be produced in the "traditional method", so I'd expect smaller ones. Actually, even the big ones are pretty small.<br /><br />Anyway, I do loves me some Cremant D'Alsace. Good deal for sure. Can't wait for summer weather, crab boils, low country boils, and many, many bottles of Alsace wine a poppin'...Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188665746443591632noreply@blogger.com
