August 18th Picks: Unique Sparkling & Carneros Pinot Blanc
Melanie Kaman's Pick
Sokol Blosser Bluebird Cuvee, Brut Sparkling, Willamette Valley
This is a super fun and refreshing bottle of bubbles to help beat the heat. It's an interesting blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Muller Thurgau, and Muscat. It has beautiful florality and citrus notes, with candied lemon and ripe melon. The Pinot Noir gives it backbone, the Chardonnay adds depth and structure while the Muller Thurgau imparts a crisp freshness. Enjoy poolside with a fresh fruit salad or some oysters.
