Holiday Bubbles

"What bubbly will you be drinking for the holidays?"

Once asked, the question could not go unanswered.  "You tell me," I said.

The answer: Gosset Excellence Brut Champagne NV.  Good answer!

The lovely bottle, with its old-school, elegant label, looks like it popped straight out of a black-and-white movie (think The Thin Man).  The creamy yellow wine sparkles with plenty of fine, tiny bubbles.  It's pleasantly dry, with an almost mineral taste.

"F-ing delicious," to quote my co-conspirator.  "If you drank enough of this, you just might turn into Kate Spade."

What we loved about this wine was its distinct lack of sweetness.  Unlike a lot of other bubblies that leave you feeling drunk and fat, this left me feeling vivacious, effervescent, and utterly fabulous.

Needless to say, I'll be stocking up for the holidays.

For the record, we were given a bottle to taste for this blog.  We have not received any other compensation for this posting.
