M. Lawrence Detroit Sparkling Wine: Review


L. Mawby
Suttons Bay, Michigan, USA
Demi Sec
Batch #9
12% abv

A blend of Riesling, Traminette, Vidal and Muscat

Appearance: sparkling straw

To the Point: I thought it was okay; my wife liked it; worthy to try. 

Demi Sec means ‘half dry’.  It is sweeter than Sec but, dryer than Doux.
Here are the terms for dryness and sweetness in a wine or sparkling wine.
