Sparkling wine clubs are a great alternative to red wine

March 17th, 2010

It seems like everyone does red wine clubs 99% of the time. Most of us wine lovers are all about the red wine. But what about a gift for someone that isn’t crazy about wine? Or what about getting your wine lover friend something a little different? I think in both of these cases a Sparkling Wine Club is a great alternative.  Who doesn’t like opening a bottle of bubbly and celebrating with friends? Even when you have nothing to celebrate, just by opening a bottle of champagne you everything suddenly feels a little merrier. There a couple sparkling wine clubs I’d recommend. First is the Cellars Sparkling Wine Club. They actually do a combination of true Champagne from France and some California + Australian sparking wine… which in my opinion can be just as enjoyable as actual ‘champagne’. If you’re looking for a California only sparkling wine club option I would recommend the Schramsbery Sparkling Wine Club. They are known for the sparkling wine and have been making it since around 1965. If anyone is looking for a 100% champagne wine club you may be out of luck. I have yet to find one. There must be one out there somewhere… so if you find one please let me know.

Happy New Years

December 30th, 2009

Happy New Years! Ok… you all know what I’m going to recommend for a New Years gift… yes… you guessed it: a Champagne Wine Club! As you all know there really isn’t much difference between Champagne and Sparking Wine. The only difference is Champagne comes from Champagne, France. If you’re buying a gift for someone that cares or knows the difference then you better play it safe, otherwise I’d suggest doing one of the many Sparkling Wine Clubs. Most wine lovers have spent their fair share of time in Napa. Anyone who has ventured a little further to Sonoma has been to Korbel. They’ve got a great tasting room and wonderful tour that shows how they make their famous champagne. Did you know they started out making cigar boxes, ran out of trees, and then discovered the land was perfect for champagne grapes? If you’re looking for a little outing in the new year I suggest visiting Korbel. You can find all of the Korbel wine clubs on their site. For those of you that want sparkling wine for a variety of vineyards then I suggest checking out Cellar’s Sparkling & Champagne wine club. I think a lot of us only think about Champagne during New Years, but really it’s great to have with dinner for mini celebrations all year long. Next time you cook dinner for your wife surprise her with a nice bottle of bubbly!
