90 Points – The Drunken Cyclist

bottle of Elk Cove Goodrich Blanc de Blancs sparkling wineOur 2018 Goodrich Blanc de Blancs received an excellent 90-Point review at the Fifth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine by wine writer The Drunken Cyclist:

“This past week, I conducted another Blind Tasting at our humble little abode here in Houston, to which I invited other wine writers from the area. This month was the Fifth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine, which featured 49 (I really wanted to get to fifty, but alas…) sparkling wines from four states.

We tasted four wines at a time, taking notes on each wine, and focusing on general impressions and preferences.

Retail $70. 100% Chardonnay. Pale straw with a lovely nose of peach, lemon, and some croissant. The palate leans toward austere, though, with nice acidity and a flinty aspect. Excellent. 90 Points. – The Drunken Cyclist

Want to know who else made the list? Read the full article BRUT-PART ONE which features the first 15 wines and make sure to check out BRUT-PART TWO for a list of the last 14 wines tasted.
