Here’s our cheat sheet to get that party started!
Rosé All Day: Riverbench Brut Rosé $48 (Santa Maria Valley, CA)
A sparkling rosé is a must, both sparkling wine and rosé are totally trending! This rosé sparkling from the Santa Barbara wine region is the perfect bottle for your Bridal Bubble Bar. It’s fresh and easy yet it adds a touch of elegance to the assortment.
Prosecco Perfection: Viarae Prosecco $19 (Italy)
This one is a must because you can’t have a bubbly bar without Prosecco. From the mind of Issa Rae, creator and star of the HBO hit show, “Insecure”, this Viarae Prosecco boasts laser-sharp acidity and is quite lean. Most Prosecco’s have a slight hint of sweetness, yet this one is dry as it comes.
You Fancy: Domaine Chandon Étoile Brut $84 (California)
And because we must include a bottle of “Baller Bubbly,” this Chandon Étoile Brut fits the bill. This wine is made from the best lots of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the classic Champagne grapes.
Something Different: Medici Ermete Lambrusco $26 (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
A sparkling red wine? Served chilled? Yup! And trust: it’s delicious! This wine is totally dry in style (no sweetness whatsoever) and will satisfy the red wine lovers in the group.
