Did you know we have our very own sparkling-focused bar in town? It’s called Relevé Champagne Lounge in the Lowe’s hotel. Here are a few tips that Rachel and John learned:
Expand your territory: You already know about French Champagne, Italian Prosecco, and Spanish Cava, but how about German or Austrian sparkling wines, or even Californian?
Think pink: Have you tried sparkling rosé? If not, there’s no better time to try it than on New Year’s Eve.
Vary your glasses: Champagne flutes aren’t always the best serving glass. You can try a normal tulip-shaped wine glass or an even larger balloon glass for nicer bottles and they’ll help present the delicate aroma for the wine.
