It's always time to celebrate with a fine sparkling wine or champagne.
We selected this Washington sparkler to mark the birth of our first grandson, Jameson. It also would make a delightful companion to grilled chicken or as a summer party aperitif.
Made in the traditional champagne method (methode champenoise), the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in the carbon dioxide bubbles the wine is famous for. This chardonnay wine is medium dry, crisp and light-bodied. It displays orchard fruit flavors with a crisp, lingering finish.
Sherry: "Notes of pear and green apple with a hint of almond on the finish." 3 stars
Chris: "Green apple and floral notes with flavors of peach and ginger." 3 stars
Available locally for about $11.
Coming next week:
Ol' Geezer Rosso
