Bubblies
OK, I'm writing this right before the holidays which is when most people think of drinking sparkling wine, but the point I want to make is that Champagne and sparkling wine are great to drink year round. And I don't mean just when you have a celebration either. Because of the great diversity in styles available you can find a bubbly to go with just about any food, from sushi to just about anything with a cream sauce to dessert. In fact, sparkling wine pairs well with foods that are notoriously difficult to match: artichokes, asparagus, and salads to name a few.
Because people associate sparkling wine with special occasions and celebrations they think that it is expensive too. Now don’t get me wrong, we have the Krug Grand Cuvée for $165 and that’s expensive, but there are lots of affordable bottles of bubbly out there: Prosecco from Italy, Cava from Spain, Cremant de Loire from France and sparkling Shiraz from Australia can all be had for less than $20 a bottle. These are everyday bubblies for the special things that happen every day! So grab a bottle of sparkling wine and celebrate today.
