Great Western NV Brut Sparkling (Finger Lakes)
- Best Buy
- $10
A faint, attractive earthiness adds unexpected complexity to this wine’s floral-hay nose and herb-tinged, green-apple palate. A medium-weight blend of approximately one-third Chardonnay, one-third hybrid grapes (like Seyval Blanc and Vidal) and one-third native American grapes.

Great Western NV Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- $10
This soft, 100% Chardonnay sparkler has an attractive, quite creamy, apple, vanilla and mild spice bouquet. Sweeter than expected, it's a good, easy drinker, with apple and grape flavors, a touch of nuttiness, and a gentle tang on the back end.

Great Western NV Extra Dry Sparkling (Finger Lakes)
- $10
Flower-shop aromas jump from the glass of this floral, unabashedly sweet sparkler. Soft and even, it has decent length and an almost ginger-ale quality on the back end. Has definite sweet-tooth appeal and is fine for mimosas and the like.

Great Western NV Brut Sparkling (New York)
- $10
Anyone familiar with native varieties of grapes will recognize the “foxy” aromas and flavors in this otherwise well-made bubbly. The color, attack, acidity and finish are all good, and it’s dry as advertised, but that foxiness will be a problem for consumers used to vinifera grapes.

Great Western NV Extra Dry Sparkling (New York)
- $10
Foxy, animal aromas begin your experience with this bubbly. It’s rough and fruity, with a dose of sugar. It has a low price going for it, but most wine enthusiasts won’t find much to like here.
