Season 3 Episode 9

The summer heat is sitting firmly on our chests like an overweight tabby cat. Here at Bottled Up! we already had an episode where we spoke at length about Sparkling Rosé, but that doesn't mean we can't do it again! If anything, this summer heat is to blame. Heat and Sparkling Rosé just go hand in hand. So in this episode we bring it back to New World and taste a delightful vintage sparkling rose. Coming at us from former Moet Chandon Chef de Cave, Wayne Donaldson, is this absolutely stunning W. Donaldson 2019 Sparkling Rosé. The challenge here is that this wine is only available via the wine club Naked Wines (nakedwines.com). Fortunately you do not have to be a member to order a bottle, but it will run you about 20 bucks more than if you are a member. That said! if you aren't a member or don't want to spend money on shipping etc, we highly encourage you to go to your local liquor store/wine shop and find a traditional method American (preferably California or specifically Sonoma) sparkling Rosé and DRINK-A-LONG!
