SCHRAMSBERG Blanc de Blancs 2013

(North Coast) $39

I love the freshness of this wine—it’s like drinking cold mountain air early in the morning. Blanc de Blancs (100% chardonnay) is Schramsberg’s most popular wine and it’s easy to see why. Not only are the flavors delicious and pure (iced pear sorbet), but the bubbles feel different than the bubbles in most other sparkling wines –they’re crisper, firmer, more lively, more kinetic. A mini explosion. A thousand points of light(ness). All in your mouth.
