Aragon Wine Tasting 8 Dec 2022

As much as I have had it, I am still not a massive fan of Sparkling Wines, Champagne et. al. A lot of people just love it, mainly for the bubbles. Yet aside from the bubbles, is there anything more to be had for my taste buds? For the bubbles lovers; who cares, it has bubbles. I envy that simplicity. Sadly my palette craves more complexity. So, for a second Sparkling Wine to make our Wine of Note in as many weeks means it must be special!Guidobono Segretevigne Extra Brut Sparkling White, 100% Nebbiolo grapes, from Piedmont Italy comes in with actual flavor once you get past those bubbles. A nose of yellow flowers with a palette of apple cider, crisp, clean, and of course, those bubbles, which enhance the flavor of the actual wine instead of being the beginning middle and end in of itself. Just about anything goes with this because drinking it is its own party! Hope to see you out at next week’s many local wine tastings!
