From the bottle:

Story: Bubbles are for celebrating, but you can celebrate with these pink bubbles any day! This is a traditional dry sparkling Rosé wine that will add a little color to any toast or gathering of friends.
Taste: Pale pink in color, with a charming effervescence. This bubbly is elegantly fruity with notes of strawberries, passion fruit, and rose petals. Fresh and clean with pleasant acidity, this is a sparkling wine that will make any occasion a jovial one.

Traditional Christmas meals can be hard for pairing wine, but we’ve always pointed to both rosé and sparkling wine as excellent choices. Why not combine the two for the best of both worlds, especially when it will also work perfectly for the midnight cork popping and toasts associated with New Year’s eve?

The 90 Plus Cellars Lot 49 Sparkling Rosé begins with a really beautiful aroma of strawberries, watermelon jello before you refrigerate it (ah, the good old days!) and rose petals. The wine tastes delicious! It’s not too sweet but has plenty of fruit — primarily strawberry, lemon and apple along with touches of tropical fruit. This crisp and fresh wine also has good acidity and just the right amount of bubbles. It ends with lots of lingering strawberry on the refreshing and quite long finish. This is a super easy to drink wine that would be fabulous for your Holiday table!

Highly recommended, this one will go on our list of The Best Sparkling Wines Under $20!
