My husband had a very brief holiday this weekend. To get him into a more relaxed state of mind when he arrived home on Thursday evening, we opened a bottle of Quartet from the Roederer Estate, a wine we had drunk before and really enjoyed. It was a warm, sunny evening, and we sipped it while we grilled some pork chops, which we ate with mustard mash and grilled, fresh English asparagus.
We still really like this wine. This time around, though, it had a sweetness we didn't remember. We couldn't decide if we had missed it the first time around, or perhaps if this producer isn't consistent from batch to batch. I'm leaning toward the latter, as I tend not to like sweet bubbles, and think I would have caught the sweetness the first time around. We have another bottle in the house, part of our cache from Majestic Wine, so we'll see if the sweetness re-appears in that one.
