Champagne & Sparkling Wine Tasting Notes
Taste in wine is incredibly personal. What one person simply adores, another might find too sickly sweet. A Champagne that one person thinks is perfect, another might fine bone dry and nasty. Be sure to taste for yourself what Champagnes you enjoy before you splurge on a special occasion bottle. You can do tastings with friends, or sample glasses at restaurants!
