Killer Bubbly

About the Wine

This wine was made by LJ Brimfield.

LJ has 3 recommendations to drink it:
✔️ Ice-cold on its own (because you're fancy like that)
✔️ In mimosas (because brunch isn’t complete without bubbles)
✔️ In a cocktail (hello, French 75 👀)

He also has this to say about the vineyard it came from:

"Celilo Vineyards was planted on Underwood Mountain in 1972 - most vines are 40 years old. The deep-rooted vines bring a mineral characteristic to Celilo's wines along with higher acidity. At an elevation 800 to 1100 feet, the vineyard is considered sub-alpine, sitting on a cusp of wetter maritime weather to the west and the desert to the east. Annual rainfall of 50 inches percolates into the vineyard's grainy "buckshot"-sized volcanic loam. Soils from the extinct volcano cone of Underwood Mountain can be as deep as 45 feet and retain moisture well, allowing Celilo Vineyards to survive without irrigation. Due to the soil, the flavors that come through the grapes is "minerally" and intense."

I'm not a big bubbles person. But when I had this rich, beautiful wine I knew this had to be ours.

- Bruno

French technique. Italian zest. American greatness. I spent 40 hours hand-labeling each and every one of these bottles just so you could say the bottle is pretty.

This wine was made by our partner/mentor/wine consultant/winemaker in Portland (called LJ).LJ basically invented a new way to make amazing sparkling wine in a way that joins together the best of both sparkling winemaking techniques - Prosecco & Champagne. This wine was basically aged for a period of time in contact with the dead yeast cells that give Champagne it’s creaminess, and then carbonated in the same way that Proseccos are in order to give it freshness.

His recommendations to consume:
- Drink ice cold with aperitivo/by itself
- Drink with orange juice as a mimosa
- Make a killer French 75

Tasting notes: extremely bright, refreshing, and very apple-y.

The bottle is very dark green in order to protect the wine against light damage (a very real thing) and is properly corked and caged like champagne.

    Killer Bubbly is killer!

    Fresh and delightful! We had this at a bay side BBQ surrounded by friends and this bottle made everything better. It’s crisp and refreshing, I will be ordering again!

    I didn't want to spend a lot of money on champagne but also didn't want to do prosecco so this was perfect

    Crisp and bubbly, just the right amount of dryness. We had it for a celebration, and it was a great pick
