Anna de Codorníu
Varietal: Sparkling
Country of Origin: Spain
Appellation: Penedes
Retail Price: $14.99

Tasting Notes: From a centuries-old cava house, this blend of pinot noir and chardonnay spends at least a year on the lees, before being disgorged and prepared for shipment. The effervescence is delicate and persistent. The nose and palate of cherry, red berry and tree fruit add to the complexity and balance. A true bargain, given its price and high level of quality.

Gerard Bertrand
Varietal: Sparkling
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Cremant de Limoux
Retail Price: $18.99

Tasting Notes: Beautiful French sparkling wine from Limoux — the land where sparkling wine's originated. Crisp, but with a lush texture due to a small amount of chenin blanc to go along with chardonnay and pinot noir. Dry nectarine and fragrant rose petal with a lovely nose of subtle fresh strawberry and a classic hint of toasted bread on the finish. Great value.

Bryn Mawr Sparkling

88
Bryn Mawr
Varietal: Sparkling
Country of Origin: United States
Appellation: Willamette Valley
Retail Price: $28.00

Tasting Notes: An interesting take on sparkling rosé, it utilizes grapes not very commonly found in sparklers, like marechal foch and tempranillo, with the backbone being pinot noir. Quite dark pink in the glass. The nose is rather muted. The bubbles are fairly fine and persistent. On the palate, it shows fresh and zippy acidity, well balanced, with early Bing cherries, green apple and a touch of Meyer lemon. Overall, well balanced. It is presented in an informal package with a crown cap closure.
