Tasting - "Andre Champagne"

Name: Andre Champagne (BRUT)
Variety: Sparkling Wine
Region: Modesto, California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $7

Winery review: Andre Brut California Champagne, while not technically Champagne as far as I can tell, is the closest thing Andre has to a “flagship” sparkling wine product. You can find Andre Brut just about everywhere Andre is sold. Because of this, we surmised that it was most likely one of the better Andre offerings. After all, why would they push it to the top of the Andre heap otherwise?
Andre Brut Champagne has a combination of lemon and green apple flavors that seemed sweeter than I typically expect from a brut (though the residual sugar is only 2.3g/100ml). Unfortunately, the flavors seem to be constantly at battle with one another, leaving it off-putting and ill-aligned.
The Andre Brut California Champagne is not horrible by any means. It is definitely drinkable, and it will not kill you. However, you can do much better with your $5, even with a different Andre sparkling wine - (November 29, 2012 by soursmashed.com)

My review: I loved this beverage! When I first began to drink this wine, it was a sharp lemon taste that lasted for a little while. After a few gulps, the champagne started to taste really good. It went from sharp to pretty enjoyable and of course the brut aspect to it made it a little dry. For the price, I would definitely drink this again! 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
