If you have access to this stuff, I highly recommend picking up a bottle. Its from Michigan, I know sparkling not from California or France but it is still good, trust me. Upon opening you can smell the yeast permeating from the bottle and your glass. The wine itself is creamy and sweet. Not like an Asti but just a hint of sweetness for those who do not prefer the bone dry brut style. I find Domaine Chandon's Brut more along the lines of a classic French Champagne but this one can still appease those purists. Price wise you are a bit higher than most comparable bottles but you are supporting a local MI vineyard. Their tasting room is by far one of the best up north, it feels like a person's garage but full of great bubbly just waiting to be consumed.
