Happy New Year

Happy New Year's and best wishes for 2005. I've already learned my first lesson: never buy nonalcoholic Spumante. Near-champagne may be near many things, but champagne is not one of them. I don't like the taste of alcohol, so I thought I would try Sutter Home Fre Spumante. Bad idea. It does not have "luscious fruity flavors balanced by zesty acidity" as the website advertises. The closest thing to flavor it has is a vague hint of watered down something, but after half a bottle, I still couldn't get enough flavor molecules to figure out just what was watered down. Next time I try to go for fizzy and festive, I'll go back to the sparkling apple cider.
