NV Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut
Bollinger is an icon, full of brightness, elegance, body, and structure.
NV Waris Hubert Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Zero
In some ways, this "grower champagne" from Waris Hubert is a polar opposite of Bollinger.
2017 Benovia Blanc de Blancs Brut
From Sonoma Valley, Shayn observes this sparkling could be thought of as California's version of a "grower champagne" - terroir-driven, focused, and delicious.
2018 Francois Chidaine Monlouis sur Loire Brut Tradition
This sparkling from a small, estate-driven producer beautifully expresses the Chenin Blanc grapes. Alicia loves to have a bottle of this chilled on hand for guests.
2015 Juve y Camps Gran Juve Grand Reserva Cava
Juve y Camps is known as *the* leader in Grand Reserva Cava. As Shayn says, this isn't your basic grocery store cava.
NV Loimer Brut Rosé
Alicia describes this wine as an everyday, party-drinking sparkling that's not going to break the bank.
2017 Benanti Etna Spumante Rosato 'Lamoremio'
This rare sparkling comes from Benanti's vineyards at the base of a volcano - Shayn notes that it would pair beautifully with proteins, like a steak.
NV Lini 910 Labrusca Lambrusco Rosso
Alicia describes this as red, fizzy, happiness. Need we say more?

I'm somewhat obsessed with sparkling wines, for so many reasons. They are perfect with any cuisine, whether you're having french fries or even a steak. What I also love about them is that you can't be sad when you're drinking bubbles, right?
