I'm quite familiar with BC, and I'm familiar with BC wines, but I can't recommend any bubbly.

The first and only bubbly bottle I had from BC was Cipes Brut, everyone in the industry raves about this wine. I bought it, asked about the lees contact (seemed lengthy) which fit my desires - I love a yeasty, toasty bottle of bubbly.

Imagine my horror when I drink this 'brut' bubbly and it tastes like sour skittles or an auslese Riesling. The acidity is definitely there, it's almost bracing, but there's also a ridiculous amount of sugar. I detected sweet on the palate and looked it up, the Cipes Brut I bought contained 20 grams of sugar which is WAY higher than should ever be in a bottle of Brut, but that's what you get with a fledgling wine region. Still disappointing considering how many 'experts' feel this Cipes is quite the catch.

I'm reading on Summerhill's website that Cipes Brut now has 14.4 grams of sugar, but as someone who despises off-dry wine outside of the rare aged riesling, I won't be buying Cipes ever again. Also incredibly overpriced at $35-40 dollars a bottle.
