BLANC DE BLANC SEAMEN
Schramsberg 2002 Blanc de Blanc, Calistoga, CA
Risqué was invited by some of his most delicious sea-worthy LUSHES at Funny Boy Films (you know… Adam and Steve) to set sail for a day out around the Channel Islands for a glorious Easter Sunday voyage where their journey was justly christened with the disgorgement of the cork from a wonderful shared magnum of Schramsberg, Vintage 2002 Blanc de Blanc Brut. As our ship healed along through the invigorating spray of the pacific, every seaman on board found themselves elated with the effervescent tiny bubbles, luscious mousse and the refreshingly crisp aftertaste.
It has seductive crisp aromas of citrus, acidic tropical fruits, earthy warm nuts and aromatic vanilla. The true champagn’esq flavors resemble crisp sweet apples, ripe juicy peach and climaxes in a long floral finish. The quality and taste are expected to hold up for years to come especially in the well endowed magnum.
So, next time you find yourself on deck with several BRUT seamen and looking to make a moment memorable with your Captian, Risqué recommends popping the top off this lovely pearl.
