For the occasion of New Years Eve, I am skipping ahead to the sparkling wines of the wedding. I absolutely love the Paringa Sparkling Shiraz (2004) from Australia. It is dark purple and bubbly, featuring the rich dark fruit of blackberry and blueberry. This wine is made for dark chocolate and winter festivities! Plus, it is fun and different if you want to impress friends who have never seen a sparkling Shiraz before. I tried this wine for the first time at my friend's graduation party at the Elusive Grape in downtown Deland, FL. This is a wine that is always around at this ever-changing wine store (and sells for around $14.99)--a definite keeper!
The other sparkling wine sampled was the Francois Montand Blanc de Blanc. This delicious and very affordable white-blend sparkling wine retails for around $10. It has an unusual blend of Airen and Ugni Blanc grapes. It's complex and toasty with flavors of crisp apple and lemon. Enjoy!
