BATTLE OF THE BUBBLIES:
NEW YEAR'S EDITIONLAMBRUSCO vs PROSECCO vs CAVA
It's Christmas Day, and Happy Holidays to all our friends. The holiday season is not over yet! Which bubbly are you celebrating with this New Year's Eve? Champagne is the classic choice, but tomorrow night Barramundays makes your life a little bit easier (and a lot more fun) by offering three other scrumptious bubblies to sample in time for your New Year's celebrations. Two whites and one sexy red.
The combatants are:
Cava
Only Spanish wines produced in the traditional methode champenoise are permitted to be called Cava. Our selection was the winner of our last Battle of the Bubblies, just before Thanksgiving.
Prosecco
Unlike Cava and Champagne, Prosecco is an Italian wine produced using the Charmat method, in which secondary fermation takes place in steel tanks. Since this is a less expensive process than bottle fermentation, the savings are passed along to the consumer- lower cost, yes, but also a very respectable and delicious choice for your celebration.
Lambrusco
Fruity/floral, refreshing, and making a serious comeback in the US, Lambrusco is a lightly sparkling red Italian wine. It's been around since the Romans, and was the most imported wine in the US in the 70's & 80's, (who knew?!). From the wine talk I've been hearing lately, Lambrusco is a favorite, (almost trendy).
Christmas dinner awaits, but the celebration continues tomorrow night, with DJ Ilmo spinning groovy beats.
See you there!
