Gruet Blanc de Noirs NV Review
If your heart says Champagne but your budget says otherwise, look no further. This is one of the best American sparkling wines and you can pick it up for less than $20 a bottle. Made using the same technique as Champagne (secondary fermentation takes place in-bottle), the wine then spends two years on lees gaining complexity, delicious aromas and flavors, and a creamy mouthfeel. This is outstanding sparkling wine that you can afford to drink on any night of the week.
