Carfagna’s

Stopped by Carfagna’s for another Saturday 5 for 5. Lisa was pouring today and of course, Raj poured a 6th wine. While we were at Carfagna’s, our 7-year-old nephew called and asked Julie to taste some bubbles for him. So, at the bottom, we talk about one of our favorite Champagnes.

2. Rosé, Domaine Mas Therese, Bandol, France  ($17.99)

• Brut, Pierre Gimonnet & Fils, Champagne, France (375ml)      (This is one of our favorite Champagnes. We had it first at one of our favorite restaurants in Columbus, the Refectory. This wine has the distinct yeasty flavor of a Champagne, but also a ton of fruit, green and red apple. )
