Ok fine, it's "sparking wine."

So we just joined the Hi Time Wine Cellars champagne club through which we receive one bottle of French champagne (the only kind that can be called champagne, of course) a month. As a result, I thought I might document the wines here. But before we begin with the French stuff, we drank a bottle of Argyle Brut 2002 with some friends a few weeks back. I forgot to take notes, but if I recall, it was quite nice with a lot of balance, very smooth and fairly creamy although lacking a much minerality or bite. Argyle is reliably good stuff, if usually a tad overpriced.
