A Nice Surprise

A couple of months ago, I came home to a nice surprise from UPS.  It was a package from the famous Biltmore Estate Winery in Asheville, North Carolina.  They had shipped WineEnabler a bottle of their bubbly and a bottle of their white table wine.  Recently, we decided to indulge in the bottle of the Biltmore Estate Methode Champenoise.  (As you may know, only wines produced in a certain region in France may be called Champagne, so wines of this type produced in America are always called “sparkling wines” rather than “champagne.”  This particular bottle of Blanc de Blancs was s Brut sparkling wine which tends to be on the drier side rather than the sweet wide.  It had overtones of apple and pear with a hint of a lemon finish.  One of our tasters compared it to a Sweetart.  Be that as it may, we all loved the inviting bottle of sparking wine and can’t wait to actually make a trip to the Biltmore Estate Winery so we can taste some more of their delicious varietals.

Happy New Year!
