Wine Review: This clear and pale hay colored Sparkling Wine from Cape May Winery opens with a fragrant bread dough and green apple bouquet with hints of ginger ale. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and fresh with nice froth. The flavor profile is light lemon and green tea blend with notes of gentle lime and green apple. On the finish, its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. I would pair this easy drinking and crowd-pleasing Sparkling Wine with a chilled crab cocktail. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Vibrant and off dry, this playful sparkling estate blend of 78% Cayuga and 22% Riesling opens with whimsical aromas of bubblegum, pear, and regal orange. The palate brings candied lemon and ripe Anjou pear, while a refined, abundant effervescence carries through to the finish. Refreshing and festive, it’s the perfect pour for brunch with friends, summer celebrations, or beachside toasts. Pair it with prosciutto-wrapped melon or lemony desserts for a bright and bubbly match.
