Sparkling Wine...who else loves them?
September 26, 2007 - 5:18pm
I love sparkling wine so I thought I'd post to see who else among our members also loves sparklers? Anyone else out there feel the same? If so, do you prefer Blanc (White) or Rose? Any personal favorites?
One of my favorite everyday sparklers is a Spanish Cava called "Cristalino". It comes in both a Brut Blanc and Brut Rose. It's readily available and VERY affordable (under $10). Hard to find a better sparkling wine for the price!
On the higher end, I love Perrier Jouet "Grand Brut." My family has served this at special occasions for years and I have tried to continue the tradition! Drink it nice and chilled...its so good!
What's everyone else drinking and recommending?
Cheers, Pam
I am a major sparkling fan. I usually have sparkling wine every day. No need to wait for a special occation.
On the "affordable" everyday side, I do like the Cristalino Rose, Segura Viudas Brut, Poema, and Codorniu Rose.
Next level - I definitely love Lucien Albrecht Rose.
Third level, expensive, but not out of the statosphere - Charles LaFitte Rose, Ecosse (Rose and their Brut, they are a local Oregon producer), Nicolas Feuiette Rose.
High end - Palmes D'Or Brut and Rose, Dom (just had my first bottle, a 1992, on Tuesday to celebrate the Inaugration). I find that I am not a fan of Cristal, while I do enjoy Roederers other bottlings.
Ah, bubbles!!!! This afternoon, I will pop open an Ecosse Rose.
