Back by popular demand, we all know that sparkling wine is PERFECT for breakfast! Grab your Costa Rica microlot coffee and then some Loring Bubbles! (One personal note - we purchased this last year and had one bottle of the Rose left in the cellar. We opened it about a month ago and it was vastly improved - it was great before, but even better now - that bottle time really helps it! Brian agrees, as you’ll see in his note below. As with last year - correct me if I’m wrong, Brian - these are NOT available to the public yet)

These are the same wines offered last year on BerserkerDay III, so it might be fun for those of you who got them last year to get a set and see what an additional year en tirage has done to the wine. We feel the wines are ready to go at this point, and we’ll be disgorging a significant amount in a few months. We’ll keep some bottles en tirage for much longer just for fun - think Loring Œnothèque What should be of interest is that these wines represent a completely new way of looking at how to make sparkling wine in California. While grapes in Champagne may be truely ripe at 19 brix (IMHO due mostly to latitude) I don’t think we can get nearly the same level of ripeness at those brix levels in California - even in very cold regions. So we decided to pick the fruit “California ripe”, like we do all our fruit. In fact, the base wine we use is the same that goes into our regular Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs - just without seeing any oak. We de-alc the wines down to 11% alcohol before starting the secondary fermentation. So far, we’ve beeen thrilled with the results!
