ENTHUSIAST OF ALL

Holiday season is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a bit of the bubbly? For those not inclined to spend higher prices of real French Champagne, there are bargains to be had on sparkling wines from Sonoma. I visited this winery last November and greatly enjoyed their higher end Brut Cuvee, and this year they offer their standard Brut at an affordable price and with widespread availability. Cheers!

Gloria Ferrer Brut Sonoma County NV, 89 Points, $20, 103,00 cases made

A great wintry sparkling wine, with a creamy body of pear and golden apples that lead into exotic spice notes of ginger and cinnamon with a subtle but warming almond note beneath its vibrant acidity. A welcome sparkling wine for the holidays.
