Wedding Bubbly
The champagne toast is controversial these days. My take on it is pretty simple. If the bride and groom love Champagne, then you should serve it. Otherwise, just do the toast with whatever drink you have in hand. We throw away a lot of champagne at weddings and it pains me to do so. You know your crowd better than we do, so if champagne is important to you, then bring it on. Here are some suggestions for some good ‘ol bubbly if you haven’t yet decided:
Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco- Runs around $18.00 per bottle. This sparkling wine is creamy and balanced while refreshing. It has a floral, fruity aroma that’s pleasant and made from grapes grown in Veneto Italy.
Cuvee Jean-Louis Blanc De Blancs Brut- Runs around $10.00 per bottle. You’ll get lots of bubbles with this one. It’s bright and fruity with just a hint of honey. Crafted in Burgundy. A true great value.
Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut – Sells for roughly $12.00 per bottle. This one is from Spain and is often referred to as the “black bottle bubbly”. It is the number one imported champagne in the world. This one is crisp and clean with a medium body and a hint of ginger.
Gloria Ferrer Va De Vi- This one sells for about $22.00 per bottle. Sonoma County’s Gloria Ferrer’s vineyard takes the credit for this one. It’s a classic blend of pinot noir and chardonnay with a touch of Muscat. You’ll get big aromas of apple, pear and cherries with a creamy texture resulting in a lasting finish.
Cheers!
