D.L. Jardine's Texas Champagne


D.L. Jardine's Texas Champagne.  Because no when you think of hot sauce, I often think of fizzy alcohol from France.  I've gotten ill from drinking too much cheap champagne, and I've gotten ill eating some illicit roadside hot sauce I bought on a whim, so I suppose the parallels are deeper than I thought.



Texas Champagne?  I thought that was Dr. Pepper.
No, that's "Texas water." My bad.

I got my bottle of D.L. Jardine's Texas Champagne from my Dad a while ago.  He just saw it and liked the name, and knew I loved hot sauce, so he bought it for me.  Cool story, dude.

HEAT - Not too spicy, you could definitely tell it was a cayenne sauce.  It was a sauce where the more you use, it didn't seem to make things get any spicier.  4/7.

FLAVOR -  It was pretty smokey tasting as well, so I see where the whole Texas (BBQ) thing comes into play.  Not as vinegar-y as I expected, which for me, is not cool.  I like vinegar-flavored stuff.  4/7.

EXPERIENCE - It was a nice compliment to eggs.  I liked the dark brownish red color.  It was pretty fluid.  Not too viscous, like Tabasco brand sauce.  It kind of reminded me off a shitty version of Tabasco, actually.  4/7.

D.L. Jardine's Texas Champagne has a BFB rating of 12/21.  A middle of the road score, for a middle of the road sauce.  Man, I hope things go up from here...

Sound good?  You can buy some here.
