My New Year’s Resolution? I’ll probably keep it at 1280×1024, like always. Thanks for asking!
If it’s bubblies you’re looking for, it’s bubblies we have. The nine sparklers we’re featuring below have a range of prices and a range of flavors, but the range of quality runs the gamut from exceptional to exceptional. And if you’ll be serving a certain dish for which you’d like a very special wine, just ask us — our experts can pair anything. Several have a Friends & Family (F&F) discount attached, which can make a bubbly even bubblier.
