Shop Review: California - Cook’s California Champagne Brut White Sparkling Wine is fruity and fresh. This medium-dry white wine features aromas and flavors of apple and pear balanced with toasty yeast notes and floral nuances. Suggested food pairings include seafood, salty snacks, and spicy food. Many comments suggest that this wine is perfect for mimosas.

Wine Folly Text: This wine comes from the Madera region of California, one of the noted inland valleys. The large scale wine producers are located here, including the world's largest, Gallo. Overall, the quality isn't high but there are some exceptions. This region is most known for zinfandel, peitite sirah, cabernet sauvignon, and muscat of Alexandria (pg 290).

My Review: 🍷🍷🍷 (out of 5)

This wine has strong scents of apple and pear. Upon drinking the wine, I could easily taste the dry, acidic juice with strong notes of apple, pear, and lemon. Not the best wine in the world but it was an alright wine to enjoy for the evening. [Note: I did the wine dinner activity with friends before this tasting] This was a very light wine that was easy to drink and tasted really good in the flute when it stayed cold.
