DOROTHY J. GAITER AND JOHN BRECHER, Wall Street Journal
Saturday/Sunday, January 10-11, 2009
Millions will gather in Washington this month for the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States, and many of them will attend fancy parties.Our suggestion: Open a fine bottle of American bubbly. Which one? We tasted dozens to answer that question. In order to find a good, widely distributed American bubbly to suggest as an inauguration celebration wine, we tasted dozens that cost less than $50.

With mid-summer comes the annual release of J’s nonvintage Cuvée 20. This year’s bottling is richer than last year’s, and offers broad citrus, raspberry, vanilla and yeasty brioche flavors. The wine feels clean, vibrant and smooth. —S.H.

"I Truly Love the J Brut Rose" - Sparkling Wine Profile by Examiner.com!
Kris Chislett, Examiner.com (Jacksonville Wine Examiner)
December 9, 2009
The key to this wine is subtlety. Beautifully delicate on the nose. Fresh aromas of peach and strawberry with faint toasty notes. Citrus flavors come through a little more on the palate, hints of tropical fruit, raspberry, red apple, a really elegant wine. I truly love the J Brut Rosé. It isn't over the top. It's one of the best sparklers I've tasted coming out of CA.
