Domaine Ste. Michelle Frizzante wine

Nose: pleasant apple and light citrus
Palate: off dry, big bubbles
Finish: nice finish with bigger citrus coming back and a dryer texture.

Overall: a fun bubbly from the usa. This goes best with the milk chocolate with lavender tonight.

We are hosting a bubbly and chocolate tasting this evening so I'll be blogging all the bubbly we taste. The chocolates here include d'Oliva Bar (olive and white chocolate), dark chocolate and chili, milk chocolate and lavender, white chocolate and simple dark chocolate.

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut Cava wine

Nose: apple and some honey melon hints
Palate: very dry, small delicate bubbles
Finish: finish is understated with green apple being the most prominent with a nearly puckering dryness.

Overall: quite nice for an affordable dry sparkling wine. This one paired best with the Ghirardelli dark chocolate with raspberry squares.
