Here's an episode of Champagne come to play in Michigan. I sampled this at the winery this past Friday and I must say it was one of the best sparklers I've had from Michigan. 

On the nose, this one has toasted oats and nuts, a flavor profile created from letting the wine sit on dead yeast cells in the bottle for two years. It sounds disgusting, but aging en tirage, as it's called, creates a much richer tasting wine. The fruits were mellow baked apple and pear and a hint of lemon pound cake. The palate has a medium body with crisp acidity courtesy of the Chardonnay, orchard fruit and nutty notes. It's delectable. 

Pair this with just about anything. The beauty of a sparkler is it's versatility. Sit back and enjoy this one with friends, perhaps those who don't always get to partake in the perks of the Land of the Hand.
