I didn't talk about the sparkling wine in yesterday's blog yet -- let me take a moment now. In my opinion, and I'm not a wine expert, a sparkling wine goes with nearly any savory food. Well, not all sparkling wines go with all things because as with any wine you have a great variety between sweet and dry, but you know, generally speaking...
Anyhow, just before the holidays we went to a tasting of sparkling wines at Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits and found a few very nice traditional Champagnes and some methode champenoise sparklings, some Astis, and a few non-traditional sparkling things too.
One of the sparklings we found was the NV Domaine Saint Vincent Brut made in New Mexico, and this is methode champenoise. This is crisp without being overly dry and it offers continuous small bubbles without being frothy. It's not so complex that it requires food but it's nice with appetizers. The best thing about it is that it's about $9 to $10 a bottle. This is the kind of sparkling wine you could drink just about every day!
