"The best "champagne" - I do tell folks about it, but don't want it to be sold out. Mixed feelings about sharing - I'm greedy."
"The 2012 drinks exceptionally well. Better than the 2011 by far. My friends all agree that this is very enjoyable, especially at this price! Lots of bubbles to go with a semi-dry citrus mouthful. A great go-to drink to celebrate weekend after weekend."
"Champagne can be pretty pricey, so I usually opt for this... the oldest sparkling wine in the world! Much more complex and rewarding than most Cava or Prosecco at the same price point, it shows great balance and offers a ton of those small fizzy bubbles that many of the Californian "Champagnes" lack."
"I have spent a fair amount of time plumbing the depths of the drinkable sparkling wines.In America that means the Gruet, the Gloria Ferrer, and the Mumms Presige. All are more expensive that the St. Hilaire. But not by much.I can buy the Gloria for under $12 a bottle between Thanksgiving and New Years. It is a far superior bottle to the St. Hilaire.The St. Hilaire fruit is subdued, even muddied in comparison to any of the other bubblies that I mentioned.If you've got to buy several cases for a party, your guests won't be able to tell the difference.But if it's for personal consumption, buy your cases between Thanksgiving and New Years which is what I do every year. Usually 3-4 cases.Is the St. Hilaire drinkable? Yes. But there are better options at this price point."
Crisp, clean. Incredible value.
