All that Sparkles
All that Sparkles
Perhaps there is not much to celebrate these days, with plenty of uncertainty and anxiety in the wine trade and beyond. Still, we find ourselves with a plethora of delicious sparkling wines, headlined by some rare back-vintage releases from Les Capriades in the Loire Valley. Grab some bottles and toast to the people you love and everything that you can be grateful for.
Of particular note besides the Capriades bottles would be some spare bottles from the 2020 release of Aurelien Suenens Champagnes, and the three delicious Lambruscos that we currently have in stock, and one of the recent "Best Bottles under $20" according to the NY Times, Sidonio Sousa Branco Brut Nature from Bairrada in Portugal!
