I drink sparkling wine year round for one simple reason: I love to cook. And eat. To date I have yet to find another style of wine that pairs with almost any meal as successfully as a bottle of sparkling will. Bright fruit and palate cleansing bubbles can take on everything from vegetables to fish, chicken to chops just as easily as it handles creamy pasta. Sparkling wine also complements an impressive range of cooking styles. Raw sushi? Amazing. Smoky grilled pork chops? Heaven. Fried chicken? So good! The fruit is rich, the acidity is mouthwatering and the finish is long. -Noelle
