I got back to the store to grab a bottle of Yellow Tail Bubbles Rose'. I hoped that I would enjoy the wine, but what really intrigued me about this bottle was the resealable cap. Good thing I bought it for the cap.
At $8.99 for the bottle it wasn't a great loss that I was less than impressed by this wine. It had slow, large bubbles compared to the Barefoot Bubbly Rose' and the Yellow Tail went flat in my glass before I was done drinking it. The aroma is nice with grapefruit and flowers, but the flavor just falls short. In the nose there is a promise of fruity goodness, in my mouth it dried out and lost any umph it could have had. Yellow Tail Bubbles Rose' seemed like it wanted to be a bright sweet wine, but it was more like a grim shadow. Overall my husband and I were bored, bored, bored.
The star of this show by far is the Zork Resealable Cap on the bottle, which the Hubs believes should work on other bottles as well. It breaks my heart when I don't finish a bottle of bubbly before it goes flat and I look forward to being able to make a bottle last a little longer.
Nectar Tasting Room and Wine Blog has a video that demonstrates how the new cap works. We will note here that he calls people like me who don't finish a bottle in a night weird. I'm okay with that. :D As a full time Mom, I don't have a lot of opportunities to finish off a bottle of bubbly on my own. One must stay on their toes you know.
The Drinks Report also has great information on the Zork. I really hope that more bubbly makers follow suit and invest in this awesome new bottle closure.
