Sorry we've been slacking on the blog. Sometimes it's difficult to write after throwing back a few bottles...oooor we're just lazy. Anyway, I figured I'd bridge our gap with a post about this bubbly.I tried this brut last week and found it very pleasing. I had gotten some Fromager d'Affinois to snack on with a baguette and figured I'd find a wine to pair with it. It was suggested to enjoy it with champagne, and while I didn't have that on hand I did have a bottle of Domaine Ste. Michelle Cuvee Brut, so I figured I'd try it out. It was a very good combination, I highly recommend it (the cheese is delish too, definitely check it out if you enjoy brie or other creamy soft cheeses, this one is very creamy and somewhat rich, but has a mild flavor) As for the wine, it had a light pleasant scent and a mild flavor. And of course it was bubbly so that was fun. I find that a lot of the time when you're getting methode champenoise type wines they have a kind of weird flavor or off smell, but this one didn't have any of that, it was rather enjoyable. I definitely recommend trying it out, you can find this brut at Bevmo for around $9.99.
