Staff Pick Notes

You're looking at this and wondering, "Can an $8 bottle of French bubbly really be any good?" Yes. The Delacroix is awesome. Crisp and dry and fun, this French sparkler is well balanced and great by the case at parties. The Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc provides a great dry yellow apple base, with great acidity and a smooth mouthfeel. This guy is also great in all of your Champagne cocktails.

Did I mention you can open it with a sword?
