This is our year of toasts saluting our wine heroes. Andrew Bishop, Founder and CEO of Oz Wine Company<\/a>, certainly deserves recognition. This month, we'll raise a glass of one of their great-value wines, Dibon Cava<\/a>. In addition to providing us with a great selection of wines as both an importer and distributor, Oz Wines is located in Methuen, MA, so we are supporting a local business.<\/p>\n

We have our usual details about the Dibon Cava below. However, we also want to tell you a bit about Oz wines and how we use experts like Andrew Bishop to select more interesting wines. We know we are likely to enjoy his selections.<\/p>\n

When we're in a great wine shop looking for a new wine, we always turn the bottle over to see the name of the importer. If the wine was imported by a trusted resource like Oz Wines, it makes our short list. Then, we will ask the shop assistants for a bit more information and their opinion on this selection. We might mention other Oz Wines imports and distributes to give a clue to our taste. <\/p>\n

Occasionally, we go to the Oz website to find more information. Once, when we bought our first Portuguese Sparkling wine, Filipa Pato's 3B Ros\u00e9, we contacted the importer to improve our wine education. This post from 2012 is an example of an Andrew Bishop educational chat.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now back to Dibon Cava! Here's what we said back in 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Except for the price, which is still reasonable in today's dollars, it still holds true today.<\/p>\n

"Dibon Cava Brut Reserve ($9.99) is so impressive, you\u2019ll want to share this find with every wine-lover you know. If \u201cbalance\u201d is a fault, then it\u2019s this wine\u2019s only fault! It will please a wide range of tastes\u2013 not too dry or too fruity. A light nose that reminded us of citrus? lemon curd? No, dried apricot.<\/em><\/p>\n

It's light, refreshing, and inviting. Very food-friendly (spicy chicken wings, potatoes, roasted root vegetables worked for us). This cava also shines all on it\u2019s own! And, it was still very good as it warmed."<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We purchase our current bottle at Urban Grape<\/a> for $14.00.<\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes and produced by different methods, adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007, we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n
