Tried this Natural Petillant wine last night:
1. Wavy Bardos Grape&Apple Wine (11.5%) Wavy Wines/BardosCider Sonoma NV/2022: Light brown/amber color w/ a ton of fine flocculant sediment & lots of very frothy bubbles that dissapate rapidly into very fine/tiny bubbles; strong appley/apple cider very slight grapey bit volatile rather light/shy nose; bit tart very frizzante strong appley/apple cider little grape bit off-dry rather simple flavor; short very apple cider no grape finish; pretty uninteresting apple cider w/ the grape wine only softening it on the palate a bit; no signs of unclean/natty character; a pretty unthrilling natural wine w/ no redeeming features. $29.00 (SFW&S)

More bardelock from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This wine is a co-ferment of 50% apples and Frontenac or Vermentino grapes. Don't know who the principles behind this concoction are. Not the least bit interested unless he's the Grandson of WavyGravy, a character I met in Chicago at the '68 Democratic Convention when I was tear-gassed.
