Yay! A sparkling, white wine! I was quite excited to see this wine being poured, and, as I expected, I loved it! This Cava from the Penedes region of Spain is sold for $9.95. Personally, when I first smelled this wine, I thought of champagne. Perhaps that's due to champagne being the only sparkling alcoholic beverage I have experience with. The notes point to yeast in the nose, and apple, citrus, and grapefruit flavors. I picked up on the citrus smell (though I thought of peaches. Maybe I always just have peaches on the brain). While the wine was very carbonated, I thought it was dryer than I expected. I'm not sure this wine would necessarily be paired with food, as I had it, but would be more of a dessert wine.
