8 SAVOUR MANITOBA | WINTER 23
Riesling Sparkling
If you have wine remaining in the
bottle, it can be saved for the next
day. Use one of the specially made
closures and refrigerate. (Several
stores sell them.) And on the
next day you can ask, "Mimosas,
anyone?"
HOW TO ENJOY SPARKLING
BRING ON THE
CELEBRATION
Nothing says it's time to celebrate more than
sparkling wine — and there are so many options
from which to choose! From the budget-
friendly Prosecco to vintage Champagne, these
effervescent beverages scream "celebrate!"
Like other wines, there is a lot to understand
about these bubbly gems, including their superb
ability to pair with food. Some experts note that a
sparkling wine can be a practical pairing with various
appetizers to entrees all the way to dessert.
From fresh berry and stone fruit notes of rosé
Prosecco to the nutty, earthy Cava (the prefered
sparking from Spain), there are budget-friendly
options to enjoy. If you are lucky enough to afford
Champagne — France's gift to the world — you are in
for a treat!
Whatever your budget allows, it's time to ring in the
holiday season with these effervescent wines!
