One day when I retire, I want to be a sommelier. In the meantime, I am taking random classes and chatting up my local wine shop owners for the best recs! I’m also the friend everyone asks for what to buy!

Introduced during the pandemic and haven’t stopped loving this one. So tasty! The regular brut is also soooo good.
