The Seventh Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine (My House, Houston, TX) : Retail $55. 100% Riesling. Extremely Heavy Bottle (868g; 30.6oz). Golden in the glass sherried and rich on the nose with just a slight hint of petrol. Yowza. The palate is much of the same, and I love it.

Retail $55. 100% Riesling. "Hate" is a word that I try very hard not to use. It is an extremely strong word and should be reserved for only extreme circumstances.

Rich, fruity (Meyer lemon, kumquat), mineral, layered. Holy …

Very bubbly, a little over carbonated for our taste - we swirled it a few times. Lots of mineral, some light pear, and a little smoke. Quite dry finish. Pleasant, but a little pricey for what it is.

The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine : Retail $55. 100% Riesling. Certainly on the golden side here, with citrus, yellow apple, and what I could swear is a bit of petrol. That makes me think that this is a Riesling and I know there is only one of those in the lineup—the problem with single-blind tastings.
