Chuck’s Take
The can makes it easy to travel with. I could see opening one pool side or any place you’re looking to sneak-drink inconspicuously. Maybe at the Sandbanks Dunes. Maybe not. If nobody saw, did it ever happen? Who’s to say.
Non-vintage (no year date on can). Light body and slightly sweet.

Chuck’s Take
Underachiever for the price. Non-vintage (no year). What’s up with the extra heavy glass bottle? Trying to market fancy and expensive to the uneducated Josh? Seems wasteful and not environmentally conscious to me.
Light-medium body and extra dry. Drink it cold because it’s gross when it warms up. Maybe pour smaller glasses? check!
I tried this wine to see if what people are bringing to ‘Book Club’ are secret good finds. Nope! not this one anyways. I’m not going to repurchase this one.

Sean’s Take
I need to clarify something, in Episode 4 “Champagne Alternatives – Boujie on a Budget” of The Wine Podcast for Everyone, I said I don’t like Champagne. What I primarily do not like about Champagne is the price. Yes, I do find it overly dry and austere, but that IS what Champagne is and this $16.95 sparkling wine might as well be a Champagne.
While it’s missing some of the complexity of higher-end Champers this is basically Champagne, I was shocked. It’s made in France and therefore I suspect the winemaker knows a thing or two about blending Champagne (spoiler alert, most champagne is blended wine).
Peach aroma, vaguely floral flavour, fine polite bubbles, clean finish. What’s not to like? Perfect for when you don’t want the sparkling wine to be star of the show, but rather a strong supporting character.
Bonus points for the gorgeous bottle, looks like etched crystal. Really knocked it out of the park. Great hostess gift.

Sean’s Take
The fruit is subtle…very subtle. Starts off with strawberry and fades to cherry on the finish. It was tough to pull out any other flavours. This Cava is bright, crisp, clean, and boring. It’s well made sparkling wine but I want a little more for my money.

Chuck’s Take
A dangerously drinkable dry California rose. Great to sip on its own, with appetizers, or a main course of salmon.
