To the Point: Damn, another sparkling wine that I like from
this winery – that means I’ll have to make another trip to the winery.
Here it is February 21, 2014 and I wanted something different than a fine ale or a red wine and I saw this bubbly in the fridge. It has been a bitterly cold winter so far and today we get rain with some warm temperatures to help melt some of that snow that has been on the ground since December. I want something different and this sparkling wine is doing the trick. I have a fine cigar going and this bubbly is matching up to the moment. This is one fine sparkling wine in my book.
