Been a weekish since my last post - I've been a working maniac since I started a new job at a small social media agency in Seattle - totally love it! Great people and right in the heart of Pioneer Square and a job that allows me to do what I love best - writing and program management! But I digress - I'm supposed to be talking about wine...well tonight's post is all about bubbly. Anyone who knows me - knows I love the bubbles - so when there is a chance to celebrate I'm all about breaking out the bubbles. I'm a little picky as I think there are some very reasonable bubbles out there - and then there are some that seriously only belong in a mimosa. So friends, skip the Cooks, Totts, Reuniti, and sorry Chateau Ste Michelle - skipping you too - if you really want something tasty and inexpensive - try one of these gems from Europe:
- Veuve de Vernay ($5)
- Cristalino ($6)
- Brut Rosado Cavas Hill ($13)
- Blanquette de Limoux ($13)
- Avinyo Brut Cava ($15)
The Blanquette is my go to bottle as it is consistently amazing - I've swapped in Cristalino for my mimosas as I just think Cooks is expensive and a guaranteed headache even after one glass. If you want to spend a little more - we've been digging on the Roederer & Scharffenberger - both are delicious and always hit the spot with a great grilled shrimp salad or truffled/saffron popcorn. Of course if you really want to splurge you can do what we are doing tonight - enjoying a magnum of the Duval LeRoy Paris - very excited to dive into that gem to celebrate tonight. If you have a fave bubbly that you think I should try - let me know!
PS Working on my list for 30-days of rose and looking for recruits to help partake and review.
