WTN: N/V Knapp Brut

by Carl Eppig » Wed Aug 24, 2011 7:15 pm

N/V Knapp New York State Brut; we enjoyed it for our 48th anniversary tonight. It is a "fermented in the bottle" Sparkling Wine. It cost $13.95 and weighed in at 12% alc. On the established scale for sparkling wine this one would be classified "Extra Dry." It was perfect for us with the ever so slightly sweet edge.

Believe it or not we had sausage pizza with it, as Bev was not up to going out tonight. On top of the bought crust, we put a little EVOO, a cup of our own pasta sauce, some imported Romano and a shredded wedge of Casio d'Roma, topped it with a half pound our own Italian sausage in pieces, and sprinkled with Penseys' Pasta Sprinkle. Everything was wonderful!

Happy Anniversary. I believe "fermented in the bottle" is not the same thing as "fermented in this bottle". I opened a nice Knapp Vignoles at MOCOOL and it was well received.
Chico - Hey! This Bottle is empty!
Groucho - That's because it's dry Champagne.
