Younger drinkers in the U.S. are leading the way with drinking more sparkling wines and they are drinking something besides Moet & Chandon or Korbel. There are many styles out there to experiment with from dry to sweet to white, pink and even red sparklers. We are the fourth largest market for sparkling wines, but per capita lag way behind most of Western Europe.
Some of my favorite North Coast California producers of sparkling wines that you may also find on your local retail shelf are from Domaine Carneros, Gloria Ferrer, Iron Horse, J Vineyards, Mumm Napa, Roederer, Scharffenberger and Schramsberg. Get a bottle and have it with a meal. You don't even need special Champagne glasses as regular wine glasses will do. Enjoy!
