I love bubbly—even inexpensive ones, if they’re well made. This bargain-priced bubbly is getting great reviews from the nationally published wine critics. Wine Enthusiast described it well: “elegance at an affordable price.” It has classic flavors of pear and apple, with notes of yeast, lime, and almond. A good choice as an aperitif with appetizers of cheese, shellfish, or whitefish canapés, it’s quite delicious alone. It’s widely available at grocers at a variety of prices, but BevMo! priced it low at only $13.99. Stock up for your holiday parties soon; this bubbly will quickly sell out.
