For those of you who don't know, i'm a huge fan of bubbly. YUM! i drink it year round, with any meal. and i dont care that many others only drink it for New Years--more left for me the other 364 days of the year! This New Year's Eve, i'm doing a little sparkling wine tasting for which i'll feature a cava, prosecco, champagne, and sparkling wine from california. To prep for this, i've been doing a little online research to figure out which wines would work well for this tasting, and stumbled upon this champagne guide. It has a lot of interesting basic info, but the aspect i found most interesting, was the article's encouragement to use regular white wine glasses instead of flutes. Well, luckily i already use white wine glasses since i don't own any champagne flutes! Their reasoning is that the flute inhibits your ability to really take in the aromas and flavors; the 8-10 oz wine glass allows you to really get your nose in the glass, and it allows for the fruity/nutty aromas to be released out of the glass.
What are you drinking to ring in 2010?
