Day #257 of the year.

Bodega Norton 101 Bubbles

Don’t let the Sunday Scaries get to you, guys. I never even considered it until I saw the phrase on social media, and then I, too, began ruining my perfectly relaxing Sunday by thinking of Monday before it had any right to be on my mind. So stop that right now! Grab a glass of easy-drinking sparkling wine like Norton 101 Bubbles, go outside in this perfect September summer, and cheers to the rest of a relaxing Sunday afternoon, evening, or wherever you are when you pop the cork.

ORIGIN

Mendoza, Argentina

Grapes

100% Gruner Veltliner

Tasting Notes

A pale yellow hue with a hint of green, this light sparkling wine is created with delicate bubbles. Features youthful citrus notes and a freshness on the nose, while a crisp acidity is balanced with white fruit flavors including peach and pear, creating a pleasant drinking experience.

Food Match

Pairs perfectly with soft cow's milk cheeses, as well as veal cutlet, pork chops, meaty fish dishes, or a wide array of green vegetable-based dishes.
