Bon Viatge

In honor of Monday's trip to Mallorca, Spain, we popped open a bottle of Spanish Cava. We have been big fans of Spanish sparkling wine since we first tried Frexeinet in 1997, back when it retailed for around $6.

This wine, Casteller Cava Brut, is light, bubbly, and nicely dry. It has a slight hint of citrus but isn't sweet. So many inexpensive sparkling wines taste like fermented ginger ale, but this one definitely does not. At around $11, Casteller Cava is a great value, and we wholeheartedly recommend it!

Next weekend, we'll still be in Spain, so look for our next post (hopefully a write-up of more Spanish wines) the first weekend of June. Happy Memorial Day!
