Authority: 127
The Wine Curmudgeon, as is well known , is a huge fan of Spanish sparkling wine, known as cava . In fact, my enthusiasm for cava, and especially Cristalino, annoys more than a few retailers of my acquaintance.

Find Verdi Spumante at WineZap. By way of background: Dont be confused... this is Verdi Spumante, NOT Verdi ASTI Spumante.

Here’s another sparkling wine that I think is just awesome, and I found it for about $17. This one comes from Mumm Napa , and as you might guess by the name it’s from Napa Valley.
