Korbel Natural - California Champagne 2008
Why Buy: A yummy Russian River Valley Pinot Noir for about $10... and it's a champagne!
Price : $12
Details:
Smooth but dry, creamy but delicate, with light peach and pear fruit and velvety finish.
Notes: Made with 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. Korbel is the oldest champagne producer in the USA. The winery was founded in 1882. Korbel Natural has been served exclusively at the last five presidential inaugurations.
Occasion and Pairing: New Years Eve parties, when you want lots of good bubbly but don't want to spend a fortune... and any other parties, for that matter. Also goes great with spicy Mexican or Thai food with green chiles, Sushi, and Chicken Marbella, and one of the few Pinot Noirs that pairs well with all kinds of salad.
