being a big fan of the bubbly, sparkling wines from around the world and the occasional champagne, i am always looking for something new. about 4 years ago i had the privilege of being apart of an australian tasting that showcased an exciting new product for the u.s. market, sparkling shiraz.
for those of you who know about aussie wines, you know that shiraz is huge. they do such a great job at making these highly fruit loaded, burst in your mouth red wines. especially from the southern aussie regions. the westerners are a bit more subtle.
but back to the bubbly; so, a producer named alkoomi makes a bodacious full-bodied sparkling shiraz, fit for any special occasion. if you can find it in our local wine & spirits, it's usually about $26. for that everyday hankering for something a little different, there is "lorikeet", a $9 bottle, not as complex, but just as juicy and even more fun.
here's to bubbling over with excitement!
yeh,
don't be afraid to tilt the glass.

Your wine descriptions are so beautiful! I just went back and read all your entries so far. It makes me want to run out tomorrow and find something wonderful to sip.
