24k Bubbles

 

What were YOU doing in 1992? Amber and toasty.  Tahini maple syrup wilted lily with gobs and gobs of never-ending bubbles. Spicy and viognier-like, somewhat cooked with a steely bitterness. Not at all undrinkable. 24 year old 16$ sparkler with mini-mart provenance until LAST YEAR, when I rescued it. Not bad. Not bad at all. Gold stickers all around, although I believe this winery is a historical footnote.
