The holiday season continues in full swing and it's time to ponder bubbly options for the last night of the year! Last week Eric Asimov of the NY Times featured Ridgeview's Cavendish Brut in his article "Bubbles (What Else?) to Ring In the New Year" with this glowing recommendation:
"This
wine is made with the leading trio of Champagne grapes — pinot noir, chardonnay
and pinot meunier — in the same way as Champagne, with a second, fizz-inducing
fermentation in the bottle. It might even fool you into thinking it's
Champagne. But it's not. It's English sparkling wine, made in Sussex, and
compared side by side with Champagne, differences emerge. It's a little more
brisk and tense with acidity, as English sparklers often are, garden fresh,
well balanced and delicious. 'Please, sir, I want some more.' "
Enjoy some #EnglishSparklingWine this holiday season as you ring in the New Year!
