Skip Champagne: Pop Bottles of California-Made Bubbles on New Year’s Eve - Eater SF
"Lloyd Davis, a New York financier turned winery owner, never planned to be in the wine business. But when he had to rescue his firm’s investment in a struggling Sonoma County winery, he was seduced. Davis admits he’d never liked sparkling rosé, and bet his winemaker Ron Goss that he’d double his salary if the wine was a success. Goss earned himself a hefty bonus with his Corner 103 NV Sparkling Rosé, which blends the classic grapes of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. It’s crisp, with lots of strawberry, and raspberry notes, a hint of toast and a long finish. About $45." - Maria C. Hunt
