Just put in the new stuff for Ruby after cleaning the bare glass. Most of the plants that will grow taller are just little nubs, so later after they take I will have better pics lol. She has been slowly paddling around every inch, sneaking up on the plants to eye them before moving on. I think she really likes it :3 #newlook #aquascape #betascape #driftwood #aqualife #bubbles #betadancin #swimbetaswim #happybetadance #allthebubbles #ruby #rubythebetadancing https://www.instagram.com/p/CE3gWXWpx09/?igshid=nnywq09b6rqx

“There's such a fooled heart Beatin' so fast In search of new dreams A love that will last Within your heart I'll place the moon Within your heart.” /// Happy Friday, readeers! I’d like to thank @simonteen for sending me this copy of @sheaernshaw’s WINTERWOOD and making me realize how much I need every book to have a black cover page. It’s a necessity. Excellent design work on this, that’s for sure. /// No, but seriously. Despite having “winter” in its name, this book has magic and romance and a dark forest, so it sounds pretty damn perfect for the current season. I’m hoping to get to it soon in between my contemporary romance kick and while I try (keyword: try) to get over not having anymore episodes of LORE OLYMPUS to obsess over. ANYWHO. I’ll leave the synopsis in the comments! In the meantime, tell me: what are you reading to get into the Halloween mood? #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #bookishglee #winterwood #sheaernshaw #bookmail #darkaesthetic #nowinterhere #bathtime #bubbles #allthebubbles #blackbathbomb #likemysoul #intothewoods #butlikebetterihope (at Winterwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3x5WROgvGH/?igshid=vcyebwx1yb80

I think Dartmouth must be a soft water area. In other news, I may have needed less bubble bath. #allthebubbles #really #allofthem

Fun With Fizz

Since New Year’s Eve is always grounds to break out #allthebubbles, I decided to blind my friends with a duo recently sent my way.*  I wanted to see how the Brut Sparkling would compare with more traditional bubbles being brought to the party. That included Champagnes like Salon and Agrapart & Fils and some exceptional California bubbles like Ultramarine and Dirty & Rowdy’s Traditional Method Pinot Blanc. I only meant to blind them with the Brut, but in order to keep it a secret, I tin-foiled the label of the second bottle, too.

The 2013 Brut Sparkling held up exactly as you would expect a well-made sparkling wine to show. Its bubbles were interlaced with precise apple and citrus flavors made possible from its 100 percent Chardonnay fruit.The acidity provided an astute structure.  

But what garnered a lot of chatter and curiosity among the table-full of impressive wines (including a Ridge Merlot, Corison and Dunn Cabernets, a Quintarelli Valpolicella and a magnum of Lapierre Morgon) was a 2016 Pét-Nat Rosé Syrah (yes, you read that right, 2016! It’s meant to be drunk young). As one friend asked after the bottles were revealed: “Who knew Virginia could make a geek wine!”  But Early Mountain Vineyards near Charlottesville did!  

Everything from its simplistic contemporary and artistic label, to the cloudy salmon color moving through the bottle like a lava lamp piqued our senses and cerebral curiosities. 

Made as a Pétillant-naturel (commonly called Pét-Nat), the winemakers cap off the bottle before it finishes its fermentation process trapping the remaining carbon dioxide, creating those tingling tiny effervescent bubbles. You won’t find a cork in these bottles! The active fermentation still happening in the bottle also contributes to its cloudy appearance.

In this particular bottle, I tasted an interesting creaminess that I don’t usually associate with wine. Redish-pink fruit underneath pineapple flavors with a dash of bubblegum were apparent on the palate. The wine was neither sweet nor bitter. Just fun, drinkable juice that had us all happy to be swirling it around in our glass.

* Full disclosure: These bottles were sent to me as samples from the winery. I haven’t stated a sample policy on this blog yet, but I generally have not accepted them until now to keep all posts here as objective as I can. In the event interesting bottles are offered and worth exploring on this blog, I will share it with friends, and let their reactions speak for the wine as I’ve done here.
