Castellblanch Brut Zero Cava Brut Reserva NV (PB)

This sparkler is pale golden with a bouquet that is almost non-existant but a slight hint of peach. It has real nice tiny bubbles in the mouth but almost none in the glass. The flavors are shallow, the wine dry, and yet...well chilled, it is a nice, fresh Summer quaffer! At $12, it is a nice accompaniment to a variety of foods.
Raise a glass! We did!

    For the enologically astute, "tiney" comes from the Latin "Tinere" which derives from the effervescence reminiscent of the celebratory jubilations of old wherein the town's people in a small village would take the town smart alleck and pump his or her stomach full of Alka-Seltzer until such bloating did occur that the former town critic would explode from his/her posterior region. This would give great enjoyment to the on-lookers. Speaking of balsa brains... :)
