Sparkling Wines for Every Day -- Get beyond champagne and embrace sparling wines that don't require a special occasion. These six styles are affordable, easy-drinking, and go great with a big meal. 1. CAVA - Avinyo Seleccio La Ticota Brut Nature Gran Reserva $37 -- This is a delicious cava from a Catalonian vineyard outside Barcelona. A dry, gently spicy wine, it is a great bubbly to serve with large meals - seafood dishes, in particular. 2. CREMANT DU JURA - Les Chais du Vieux Bourg 2008 $20 -- Hailing from the Jura region of eastern France and made primarily of chardonnay grapes, this is a tangy, pleasantly austere, somewhat exotic wine that should be served with a rich poultry dish. 3. ROSE - Patrick Bottex Bugey-Cerdon "La Cueille" $23 -- Bugey-Cerdon is a slightly sweet rose produced in the foothills of the French Alps. It has red fruit notes and soft texture and is a great bubbly for an outdoor party, pairing especially well with cheeses and desserts. 4. PROSECCO - Casa Coste Plane Valdobbiadene Frizzante $23 -- Here is a prosecco of unusual gravitas. A product of meticulous Italian farming and minimal intervention in the cellar, it is a complex, substantial wine that can hold its own against top-flight sparklers from other regions. 5. VOUVRAY - Huet Vouvray Petillant 2007 $30 -- Domaine Huet, located in France's Loire Valley, turns out a sensational sparkler that has all the depth and complexity of a top champagne at a third of the price. Made from chenin blanc grapes, this wine has unique notes of quince and honey. 6. CALIFORNIA - Roederer Estate Anderson Valley NV Brut $23 -- Produced by the California arm of the fabled champagne house Louis Roederer (of Cristal fame), the Roederer Estate Brut showcases the Mendocino coast. It is a compact, elegant bubbly that will win over even hardcore champagne buffs.
