Segura Viudas Cava

Hello Wine Lovers!

It is a Sunday, and to me that is always a day to have at least one glass of sparkling wine! A day of rest and relaxation, to reflect, to enjoy, to stop and smell the roses! Why champagne you ask? Pour a glass of sparkling wine into a flute and watch the bubbles rise to the top... and if that alone doesn't tell you, then call me crazy. Champagne tickles your tongue and your taste buds. It makes you feel happy just looking at it. Think how many times you lift a glass of champagne to toast or celebrate something special. Birthday, wedding (I have one coming up, my daughter is getting married soon), anniversary, new job, new baby, the list goes on and on! Which brings me back to Sunday, a celebration of the week at end!

Today's choice is a Cava from Spain, Segura Viudas Brut. A classic wine with notes of apple and citrus with a mouthful of complexity for a wine at this price point. It was rated 19 out of 100 "Best Buys". "Segura Viudas’ entry level Cava, the Non-Vintage Brut Reserva offers up a pleasant perfume of yeast notes, biscuit, and green apple. It is a straightforward, lively, slightly off-dry bubbly that is a good value for drinking over the next 12–18 months."- The Wine Advocate Magazine, May 2011. Words of Robert Parker, and he is a tough critic.

Get in your car, head to Binny's pick up a few bottles of this little number, head back home, ice it down... and take it easy! Enjoy life! This will only set you back, are you ready for this, $6.99 a bottle!

Cheers!
