This was a gamble that really paid off. A surprising amount of fruit for a sparkler made for a deliciously good time. Recommended.

Always a fan of red bubbles, this one was rich, with aromas of raspberry jam and chocolate, flavors of more raspberry and coffee. Quite tasty.

Wow, what a treat. Great taste with a little bit of tartness and a rich fruity finish. I would definitely recommend this wine. Watch out when you take off the cork though, I about killed my friend.

A real surprise. I wasn't expecting much, but was excited when my sales rep brought a bottle by, since i had never had a sparkling red anything. Nice cocoa, jammy, maybe some strawberry, and the sparkling fooled my tongue into getting all of the inherent acidity. Not a blow-me-out-of-the-water wine, but I am glad that I had it. I would use this on a menu pairing with wild mushrooms or rich, creamy cheeses.

This wine was a lot of fun. Not an everyday type wine for me but good for a change of pace.

A real fun wine that goes great with chocolate and BBQ (but not BBQ chocolate). Not an everyday wine, or even an every month one, but fun and unusual nonetheless.

Full-bodied with definite berry flavors. Surprising and especially delicious with blackberries and fresh melon.

Also a surprise for me. I have had the Black Chook Shiraz Viognier before and spied this sparkling at Astor Wines and decided to pick it up. What a steal! It's inexpensive, refreshing and massively enjoyable full of raspberry, cherry, mocha and a mild tobacco. Right now it's full of adolescent energy and should mellow out nicely in just a few years. It's under $20 pick it up if you see it!

Australian version of an Emilian Lambrusco. Fresh raspberries with hints of rosemary and nougat (kinda like a Mars bar) on the nose. Not too fruity, it has a distinctive character. Very well built and extremely enjoyable, a real surprise.

I normally shy away from sparkling wines, but this was an interesting surprise. Very delicious, a bit of berry but not sweet and very smooth. It was the perfect "something different" that I was looking for.

Really nice for a cookout. Light, crispy red you can chill and drink in the summer.
