We're approaching those last few weeks of summer. Vacations are still going strong, but Labor Day (the traditional end of summer in the USA) is only 5 weeks away. august is sometimes called the dog days of summer. The humidity often seems higher, making summer's heat that much more oppressive.
What's the perfect antidote to heat and humidity (other than a crisp lager or a G&T!) - sparkling wine! But we won't be doing Champagne this month, but rather non-Champagne sparklers, whether Cava, Prosecco, Cremant, New Zealand Pet-Nat (there must be some!), or some U.S. Sparkling Wine (among other things). Doesn't matter where it's from, other than Champagne*, and doesn't matter what it's called. Don't let summer fizzle out without a bottle or two of bubbly this month.
*Champagne is OK, but we're looking to go outside the tried and true king of bubbly.
