Bubblies For New Year's Eve 2016-2017

Bubblies For New Year's Eve, who has the inside scoop on what to celebrate with?

 

 

 

 

You have the inside scoop!

Champagne, they tell me, can be extraordinary; I wouldn't know, cause of the usually extraordinary price; I've veered toward some extraordinary Prosecco, Cava, Gruet from right here in New Mexico, and a few outstanding Champagne-like bubblies from California and the North West USA; not as 'traditional', but prices are much more reasonable, and the bubbles still go up, not down, contrary to BFG's concoction.

 

Here's a link to my post on this subject from 2015; not much has changed.

 

And here are my tasted and reviewed sparkling wines since I've been blogging:
