Chandon Sweet Star, $21.99

Sweet Star is a sophisticated and vibrant sparkling wine that enlivens all occasions. The nose pops with aromas of bright peach, nectarine, grapefruit and tropical fruits complemented by floral notes. The fruit aromas extend onto the generous palate which is rich and sweet but with a distinctive, refreshing acidity that brightens the mouthfeel.

Sweet Star is the perfect match for all types of spicy dishes, such as Thai curry, Jamaican jerk chicken or a spiced mango salad accompanying Pad Thai. It is wonderful for brunch or rich, decadent desserts.

Chandon Blanc de Noirs $21.99
Blanc de Noirs is characteristically marked by cherry, currant and strawberry aromas and flavors. These red fruit flavors build in the mid-palate and finish with a soft, lingering creamy texture.

The versatility of Blanc de Noirs makes it easy to pair with everything from spicy enchiladas and grilled chicken with chimichurri sauce to sushi and shrimp salad.

High
J Cuvee 20 Brut Sparkling Wine, $29.99
J Cuvée 20 Brut opens with nuanced aromas of toasted almond, followed by notes of Braeburn apple, dried cranberry, and ginger snap. A delicate dance of bubbles leads to a soft palate with flavors of lemon meringue pie, as the wine’s creaminess is whisked away by a lively finish.

Pair this versatile sparkler with Dungeness crab cake or lobster roll, fresh popped white cheddar popcorn or goat cheese rolled with herbs de Provence.
