A Very Sparkly Holiday 

July 06, 2020

We’re just going to come out and say it: Sparkling Wine makes the winter holidays pop. Whether it’s morning mimosas or a splash of Prosecco in the afternoon, we are officially here for it. So steer clear of the infamous only-for-special-occasions trap that grinches love to set for Sparkling Wine. There’s no holiday moment too big or too small to cheers with a glass of bubbly. And believe us when we say that there is a bubbly for everyone. 

6 Sparkling wines to pop open this holiday

    J Vineyards

    For the purist in all of us, there’s J Vineyards Cuvée 20. Sometimes you just have to go with what you know works—and that’s a classic, authentic California Sparkling Wine. This one boasts a delicate dance of bubbles leading to a soft, complex palate with hints of lemon meringue pie followed by a creamy mouthfeel and a lively finish. Oh, and did we mention that this particular Cuvée was given a 96-point score by Decanter? This one sure seems like a slam-dunk, doesn’t it?

    Apothic

    Now for a more daring choice, try Apothic Sparkling Red. You might be surprised to see a red sparkling on this list, but we’ve found that when sight is deceived, curiosity awakens. Masterly crafted and remarkably refreshing, Apothic Sparkling Red is a limited edition wine with notes of bright cherry and red fruit with layers of fresh citrus. Plus, bubbles to spare. Give it a go!

    La Marca 

    For a casual-yet-stylish get together, open a bottle of La Marca Prosecco. You’ve got three sizes to choose from! Pop open a mini (187ml), a standard (750ml) or a magnum bottle of this delicate, golden bubbly with lively effervescence, and aromas of honeysuckle intermixed with notes of fresh citrus and green apple. For the season’s most special moments, illuminate the celebration with Luminore. This Prosecco Superiore from La Marca features hints of white flowers, pear and nectarine. Make your holiday sparkle in style!”
