Korbel, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) 2011

Jun 4, 2015

By Rich Cook

When you need a bone dry, crisp, bright, budget friendly bottle of bubbles, you should definitely seek out this wine. Korbel has been on a major roll of late, and the quality to price ratio that they’ve been producing is nothing short of astonishing.  This is great as a cleansing aperitif and will pair nicely with mild cheeses and other subtle appetizers.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
