Pierre Sparr Cremant d’ Alsace
Thursday, February 25th, 2010I am always looking for a great bottle of bubbles and when that bottle also happens to be a very well priced one, than that is even better, so you will be happy to know that this weeks wine review fits into both of these categories.
The first thing you will notice when you pour a glass of this wine is it’s golden colour and lively bubbles and once you pick it up and smell it, you will be greeted with a wonderful nose filled with warm vanilla, butterscotch, ripe apples, pears, and a hint of lemon. On the palate this wine delivers all that it promised on the nose with each sip bringing all the rich flavours together mixed in with delightfully soft bubbles.
This wine is a fuller bodied style of sparkling wine and so it will pair wonderfully with heavier dishes such as, roast poultry dishes, eggs benedict, popcorn with butter, grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.
Retails between $22.00 – 28.00 across the country
Wolfberger, Cremant D’Alsace, France
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009The Wolfberger Cremant d’Alsace is a delicious sparkling wine that is made in the same method as Champagne. That means that it will have lots of tiny, lively and long lasting bubbles just waiting to tickle your nose as you enjoy every sip. This wine is made from a blend of 80% Pinot Blanc and the other 20% is made up of a mix of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. It will fill your glass with the flavours of ripe apple, pear, hints of peach and apricot and just a touch of warm toast. In the glass it is a rich honey colour and aromatic to the nose.
Enjoy this wine with creamy cheeses, brunch dishes, patés and French onion soup, or just a great book and bubble bath.
Retailing between $18.00 – 25.00 this wine is an outstanding value!
