*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR firm for the winery Oh how I love bubbles! I even made my own bubbles with some of my blogger friends in 2009. It was just disgorged and shipped to us recently, I’m excited to tell you about it. Back to the point though. [...]

I believe that is the question that many a wine lover (or blogger) has been asking him or herself over the past few weeks. This was the plate of food that was served to everyone at my house.
