What we do in our house, as Tradition, is to Celebrate the NINE days until New Year's Day with
NINE different Sparkling Wines....
One Sparkler for each day!
And we don't like to spend a fortune on this Tradition, so, we stay away from Champagne and indulge in Prosecco's, Cava's and Cremants.
As you know, the Prosecco market has grown into its own market during the past several years. It seems like EVERYONE in the World drinks Prosecco, Italy's answer to 'Bubbles'.
There are many reasons...the first, of course is bubbles...then palate taste...and, naturally the low price point.
CREMANT, from France, is made like Champagne, but, because it is from a different region in France and cannot be classified as'Champagne', the price is significantly less.
CREMANT is not on most people's radar, yet, but will be in the near future.
And then there is CAVA, Spain's answer to Champagne, in flavor, but not in price.
Each day, our household opens one bottle of the 'Bubbly' to Celebrate life...
These are our Favorites:
LUCIEN ALBRECHT BRUT 'Cremant' from Alsace, France ($15)
LUCIEN ALBRECHT 'ROSE' from Alsace, France ($15)
CAVA PAUL CHENEAU 'BRUT ROSE' from Penedes, Spain ($12)
