Chandon Rose Sparkling Wine, California, $22
Rose sparkling wines and Champagnes are some of the best food wines for the fall and the holidays, offering great flavors, freshness, and terrific way to start off any celebration. Chandon is owned by Moet and Chandon Champagne house of France and Hennessy cognac and was started in Napa in 1973, and now is known as one of the premiere sparkling wines of the world in addition to having one of the most beautiful tasting center and top notch restaurants in Napa. Beautiful aromas of raspberries and wild strawberries fill the glass along with a delicate note of vanilla. Once this wine hits the mouth layers of delicate red berry fruit, pears, and a delicious creaminess. All of the flavors married perfectly for a balanced and delicious tasting experience from first sip to the next bottle. Perfect with grilled duck or quail, but also works anywhere you would want to use a light pinot noir or a fuller bodied chardonnay.
