Reviews and Ratings

Susan Molyneaux rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

I bought this sparkling wine on sale (about $12), in the first week of the new year when the LCBO was selling off their didn't-sell-for-new-years stock. We drank this after a dinner of steak, garlic potatoes and mixed veggie and berry salad. Maybe I should say, we drank half the bottle after dinner. The other half went back into the fridge to be mixed tomorrow with orange juice for mimosas. If it was better than mediocre, we'd have finished off the bottle that evening. It started off with a strong taste of pear or pineapple, and a strange single flash of toast. After that, it seemed flat. Bubbly wine usually makes you feel the alcohol quicker, but this took a few flutes to feel much of anything, and 30 minutes later, it's gone. Not a great romantic wine (it made me burp!)but maybe good if you have a crowd you want to impress with the loud popping noise as you open it. Just don't expect to impress anyone with the taste.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
