Dave, terrific video! Thanks for sharing another option for a sparkling wine! And the price is so reasonable too!

Hi Carrie: Thank you for tuning in and for the comments. I agree, its a great, reasonable cost alternative to Champagne. More to come, Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave, do you know how they stored the bottle on the second fermentation compared to champagne?

[@obi-wine-kenobi]

Hi Nick: Great question. Same process riddling on a piputre. I do detail that process in my Champagne and Sparkling Wine video, if you want to check that out. It’s an oldie, but goodie. Cheers and Happy Valentine’s Day. Dave

Hi Nick: They would disgorge for all but the Methode Ancestral. Dave
