Generally it's only once a year that we send out sparkling wines in place of white wines for the Wine Club, because we can rest assured that this time of year everyone has at least one celebration to warrant some effervescent quaffing. This year, our wine team had a lot of fun choosing the sparkler for the Reserve level. As we tasted this lively cremant from Alsace, we stood around the tasting counter trying to guess all the grapes within (Pinot Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris, by the way,) enjoying the creamy mousse (that's the bubbly foam on top), and before we knew it, we had our own celebration going! It even made one staff member so happy she likened it to the "fizzy lifting drink" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (Yes, that was Laura.) Now, it's by far our favorite biodynamic Alsatian cremant of the season!

Food pairing: Potato latkes with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and American cavia
