Sparkling wines don't have to be expensive to be fun! For example, we picked up this bottle of Blason de Bourgogne Cre\u0301mant de Bourgogne<\/a> at Trader Joe's<\/a> for $11.99.<\/p>\n

Last month we told you that we love sparklers that are rich with Pinot Noir<\/a> flavor. This one, a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay,<\/a> comes from a family collection that includes variations for different tastes<\/a>. We've tried the others in the past, but this is the one we come back to when we want an inexpensive, fun glass of fizz.<\/p>\n

You may find the brut, the ros\u00e9, or the reserve (which we have not found around here as of yet) more to your taste.<\/p>\n

Sometimes your reason for buying a sparkling wine might not call for spending big bucks, but you still want good flavor and dependable bubbles. Blason delivers both. So sip it on a boat as you sail through September. Pack it for a picnic. Add it to a sangria base to create a sparkling sangria. Make mimosas for brunch or get creative with sparkling cocktails.<\/p>\n

We hope you'll join us in our resolution to start each month with a glass of sparkling wine. Toast to something you're looking forward to in the month ahead or were thankful for in the month past. <\/p>\n
