Last week I did a write-up on the Mionetto Prestige Collection Prosecco and commented about how I’ve been coming across more and more of their wines lately. This is another Prosecco from their “IL” line and is also quite tasty. I love what Mionetto is doing with the packaging on their IL line sparklers. Rather than a […]

Mionetto Prestige Collection Brut – Fabulous Prosecco
I’ve been coming across a number of different sparklers from Mionetto lately. They seem to be doing a marketing push and I’m seeing them everywhere. And after tasting some of their bubbly, I had to share this one with you. Prosecco is the focus at Mionetto, and they don’t just produce one. In the category of […]
Bolla Extra Dry Prosecco – A Bubbly Bargain
In my last review, I revisited a wine brand that used to be a regular for me (back when I was in my twenties), Bolla. It’s a brand that offers plenty of decent wines at bargain prices, but for whatever reason it’s also a brand that I haven’t given a lot of love in the […]
Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut – Quite a Bargain
When it comes to cheap sparkling wines, Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is an easy, go-to wine. If you’ve shopped for sparklers very often I’m sure you’ve seen this distinguishable black bottle on the shelf — and perhaps you’ve wondered if it’s any good. It’s not bad at all and for the price it’s pretty awesome. […]
Ruffino Prosecco – Cheap, Citrus-y, Fun and Delicious
Let’s continue the sparkling wine into the new year theme, but moving on from the Portuguese sparklers to an Italian prosecco. Prosecco is a great sparkling wine option for bargain hunters, as it tends to be very reasonably-priced. One brand that I’ve found to be a reliable bargain is Ruffino. It’s a wine that pretty […]
Filipa Pato 3B Rosé – Bubbly, Beautiful, Blissful
In my last review, I highlighted a sparkling Vinho Verde from Portugal and I’m going to continue the theme of Portuguese bubbly today with a sparkling rosé. Filipa Pato comes from a family that’s been making wine for five generations. Rather than just working in her family’s vineyard, she set out to study winemaking in […]
Castas de Monção Brut Sparkling Vinho Verde – Yes!
Happy New Year! And just because the New Year’s Eve party is now over is no reason to not continue drinking bubbly. Therefore, my first review of 2014 shall be a sparkling wine. OK, I’ll cut to the chase… I love this wine: Castas de Monção, Mstodo Classico – Bruto Natural. The idea of this wine […]
Voveti Prosecco – Peachy-Good Bargain!
In a couple days celebrators around the world will pop open a bottle of bubbly to ring in the New Year. A number of them will drop too much coin for high-priced sparklers that, although they can be great, many wine drinkers won’t even be able to tell the difference between them and a much […]
Segura Viudas Aria Estate Brut Cava – Complex and Elegant
‘Tis the season of celebrations and the time of year when people are more likely to be thinking about sparkling wines than other times of year. Although I’m an advocate of celebrations anytime of year and of enjoying sparkling wine with or without a celebration. And I don’t think I’m the only one with this […]
Segura Viudas Brut Reserva – Tasty Bargain Bubbly
It is holiday season and while I recommend sparkling wine any time of the year it’s a must during the holiday season. You might think that sparkling wine is a splurge, but if you know how to shop for it you can actually get some pretty darn good bubbly at prices comparable to any other […]
