Yes, most wine drinkers look to sparkling wines for celebratory events such as New Year’s Eve and even birthdays or anniversaries, but why limit the pleasure to a few occasions? We are fans of sparklers for life’s smaller events, whatever they may be!
Here are some wines that won’t break the bank but lend their sparkle and panache to any occasion, small, medium or large:
Lady of Spain by Giro Ribot, a pre-eminent Spanish Cava producer, blends multiple vintages in this cuvee- Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada to create a refreshing, effervescent wine that is toasty and fruity
Lucien Albrecht Brut, a Cremant d’Alsace, blends 50% Pinot Blanc, 25% Pinot Gris and 25% Riesling. They’ve been making wines in Alsace since 1425. This one is fresh, creamy and subtle. The family’s Cremants are consistently Gold Medal winners in competition
Valdo Spumante Marca Oro is balanced and lovely with two varietals – Sicilian old grapes Nerello Mascalese and Glera, a fruity grape from Veneto
