Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned.

We tasted two pét-nats this week. Agreed on the first one. On the second, Joe gave it an 8. Carmela gave it a 4. In case you're wondering: we are still married.

Pét-Nat is bottled mid-fermentation. The yeast is still active. As it finishes converting sugar to alcohol, the CO2 is trapped and becomes bubbles. No second fermentation, no added sugar, no disgorgement. A controlled accident.
