Cabriz, Portugal Espumante Bruto Branco NV ($12, Dionysos Imports)

I’m always hunting for wines that outperform their price, and this Espumante Bruto Branco fits squarely in that category. It is clean and crisp, with notes of red apple, white peach, pear, and a touch of toast. Made from 40% Bical, 40% Maria Gomes, and 20% Arinto. Add this to your Friday night lineup for a sparkling wine that delivers real pleasure without denting your budget.
