Domaine Carneros by Taittinger Ultra Brut 2015 Review
This might just be one of the best values out there for a sparkling wine that is an absolute joy to drink, dammit. It's just under $50, from Napa Valley, and hella focused. The nose is immediately welcoming, with soft, earthy fruit. There is a nice, firm grip on the palate, with vibrant bubbles and a heightened perception of acidity that cleanses the palate. Celebrate with this wine, but also don't miss out on an opportunity to share with close friends and your secret sauce. BBQ ribs, anyone?
