Domestic sparkling wine is ever more prevalent in the marketplace, thanks largely to this bottling, which has been a leader in its category for many years now. Crisp apple, pear and lemon aromas and flavors ride a creamy mousse and lively acidity through a long finish where all the elements remain in play and invite another sip. You can serve this with just about anything, and it will make just about anything that much more celebratory.
