New summertime sparkler
We just got in a great Sparkling from the Loire Valley en France. Loire is known for Chenin Blanc grapes - and this Charles Bove bubbly ($22.00) is 100% Chenin Blanc. What's the difference? It is nice and dry, but not as "yeasty" as pinot noir / chard sparklers. Nice rapid bubbles, and a beautiful long finish - but lighter and easier to drink for those who don't care for heavy Champagnes. Very refreshing in our Florida heat - a lovely summer bubbly. Pairs wonderfully with Saint Andre, Comte or Gouda Truffle (of course what doesn't go with Gouda Truffle!)
