Just in time for the holidays, Vineyard Brands bubbles extend across terroirs, traditions, and producers from around the world. For example, we sampled six bottles including Champagne Delamotte, a graceful Loire Valley Crémant, two English sparklers, and offerings from Italy and Argentina. You have so many possibilities with these bubbles. Pour a glass of cheer when guests arrive for your holiday party. Enjoy a bottle with your delicious holiday dinner. Or take one to share with dear friends. Regardless, they all will help make the season special.

Beautiful Bubbles
Our new must-stop for beautiful bubbles in Washington is Elentone in Woodinville. Elentone specializes in limited-production, premium sparkling wines using the traditional or Champagne method. We visited for the first time in August, and chatted with co-founder Miguele (Miggy) de Quadros-Sherry and her co-founder husband/winemaker Chris Sherry. Chris poured five beautiful bubbles from their lineup, all of which danced on the palate. Read on for details.
Italian Sparklers
Consorzio Asti, established in 1932, protects and promotes the Italian sparklers from Moscato d’Asti DOCG and Asti Spumante DOCG. These are bubbles used for toasting around the world, and a pride of Italian viticulture and oenology. These sparkling wines come from Moscato Bianco grapes, a variety that grows in the green hills of Piedmont. The wines are slightly sweet and pair well with desserts. Or enjoy them on their own as an aperitivo or digestivo. Read on for details.
