Devin has a Slovenian Sparkler for your Holidays. Yes, we said "Slovenian." Krasno Sparkling Rebula Not usually mentioned when thinking of wine-producing countries, Slovenia produces some exquisite wines, including this bubbler. Give your next mimosa or spritz a little extra sparkle. This wine, from Goriška Brda (yep, that's spelled correctly), the westernmost region of Slovenia (a.k.a. "The Tuscany of Slovenia"), is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla from 10–to–25-year-old vines.

Drew has become a devoted follower of this particular bottle of bubbles. CHATEAU MONCONTOUR VOVRAY BRUT This zesty Vouvray is my favorite bottle of bubbles in the whole store. I mean that. To say I enjoy a bottle (the whole bottle) once a week would rarely be truthful, because it's usually two, but with warm weather this week? Maybe more. This wine though...the beauty in it, for me, is a perfect balance of subtle components. The aroma — delicate, a little bit of ginger and honeysuckle. The fruit — modest, with light cameos from pear and yellow apple. Some [...]
