Our favorite. Tiny, tiny bubbles, fine body and depth, and the nose has hints of tangerine rind, honeysuckle, freshly backed croissant, and vanilla. Flavors dance in the mouth and range from apple, pear, and creamy starfruit to spicy citrus and white peach. Finish is long and polished, adding mineral and citrus peel to the mix. Pick this wine for special celebrations, it's a refined, elegant sparkler with a real cult following of winelovers in the know.

Mountain Dome Brut 99 $24.95/$22.45
Mountain Dome has made sparklers for over 25 years, and this wine shows the winery's care and expertise. A sophisticated sparkler with apple, pear and spice flavors and hints of hazelnuts and cream. A long finish with distinct hints of toasted hazelnuts calls for Northwest Copper River Salmon, if you can get it.

Mountain Dome Brut Non vintage $15.95/$14.35
(the "gnome" wine")

Their best value offering, and it gives so much more than other sparklers at its price. It is a clear light-gold wine with an active and persistent bubble stream. There’s juicy white fruit and crisp, fresh and lingering acidity; it’s not bone-dry, there’s just a hint of fresh fruit sweetness. Not that anybody would buy wine for the label, this one’s cartoonishly colorful, with hippie type gnomes on the label that are actually styled after the winery owners and their kids.
