Bring out the Bubbly
Spring's actual arrival may have been much later than the calendar's proclamation but finally, things seem to be warming up. Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee is a sparkling way to toast anything special or anything else. Sip it chilled as it is or mix to make light-hearted concoctions like Mimosas.
This is a charming bubbly that you won't want (or need) to save for infrequent celebrations. Pop open a bottle and enjoy! After all, it will soon be summer, and then autumn and then winter, and then....
