Cremant is a name given to French sparkling wines that don’t come from Champagne. And that’s what this wine is, a Cremant d’Alsace (from Alsace). Not only am I a fan of cremant, because you can often find much better values in cremant than Champagne, but I’m also a big fan of Alsacian wines. Alsace is […]
All of the sparkling rosé wines we’ve reviewed recently have been on the dry side. Brut, to be precise. But not every bubbly wine drinker is into the dry wines, so let’s check out one that’s off dry (i.e. slightly sweet). The Martini Sparkling Rosé is an Italian sparkler made from a blend of brachetto, malvasia […]
It’s time to put a little twist into these sparkling rosé wines we’ve been reviewing lately. So, you’re probably familiar with malbec and know it to be a tasty, full red wine with deep, inky-dark color. Would you believe that you can get a sparkling rosé wine out of it? Well, not only can you […]
Yet again, we’re tasting some pink, bubbly wine. And again it’s a brut rosé Cava. If you love sparkling wine, but haven’t discovered Cava yet, you’re missing out on some awesome bargains. Cava is Spain’s version of Champagne. Of course, Champagne being not just a generic name for sparkling wine but being a sparkling wine […]
We’ve been reviewing some rosé wines lately, and more specifically we’ve tasted a number of sparkling rosé wines. So, let’s continue that theme with another rosé cava that’s an absolute bargain. Segura Viudas Brut Rosé is made from 90% Trepat and 10% Garnacha. The grapes come from an estate in Torrelavit, Alt Penedès in Spain. I’d say […]
It’s time to talk about more pink bubbly stuff. Wine, that is. Cava, to be more specific. Yesterday, we highlighted a unique rosé cava from Freixenet, their Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut. But if you’re looking for an even better bargain, then it may be the Freixenet Cordon Rosado Brut that piques your interest. It’s a […]
Freixenet is a pretty big name in the bubbly wine aisle as they are a pretty reliable brand for tasty-yet-affordable sparkling wines. They are known for their cava, which in simple terms is Spanish sparkling wine made in the traditional champenoise method… yes, there are more specifics to cava, but let’s keep it simple for […]
Some guys might say it’s not too masculine to drink sparkling wine. Some might say it’s not too masculine to drink rosé, or “pink” wine. Well, I’m going to throw all caution to the wind and drink a wine that’s both pink and sparkling… and I’ll admit that I love every sip of it! Mumm […]
Similar to the Hacienda Brut and the Domaine Laurier Brut that we reviewed earlier this week, the Pol Rémy Brut comes from the Bronco Wine Company portfolio. But one thing that’s different about it is that it’s from France. I don’t know if the brand is owned by Bronco or just imported, but it is […]
Just because the New Year’s holiday is over is no reason to stop drinking sparkling wine. And so, here are a couple more bubblies worth checking out. Both of these wines come from the Bronco Wine Company. You won’t see that name on the labels anywhere, but Bronco owns both of these brands, as well […]
