Vintage Cellar Review: 
Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity. A delicious sparkler for a great price!

My Review: 
This was my second time tasting this wine, so I was curious to see if my opinion changed at all. Initially, I just smelled pear and a hint of vanilla, but once I had a sip, the apple truly emerged. A little tingly at first, but the apple's crisp quality lingered longer than any other flavor, especially after a good swish. I was definitely more open to this wine a second time around.
