We are raising a glass of NV Vina Dona Dolores Sparkling Brut Reserva to all the wine shop owners and staff who have, for years, helped us find the right wine for the right situation. We are not the easiest customers to face. We have this monthly toast that has been going since 2007.
We arrive looking for wines from strange places, made with new grapes, made by female vintners or produced by a specific category of people we would like to honor. We could be searching for high-value wines, special occasion wines, inexpensive wines, or half-bottles. Here's to everyone who knew your topic and handed us wines to keep our exploration going.
When we asked for wines from unusual places, a staff member at Urban Grape suggested this bottle of Vina Dona Dolores Sparkling Brut Reserva. We look forward to trying it. This wine is from Mexico. Some reviewers call it a Cava.
Here is what the vineyard says about it.
Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes, and produced by different methods adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007 we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month.
We purchase our bottle at Urban Grape for ~$18.00
