Sure, all that glitters is gold (at least that’s what us gals hope to be true), and sparkling is for diamonds, 4th of July sparklers and the American’s version of champagne. I love all of the above and especially when they happen all in one sitting on a very good night. Keeping this in mind you can see how ecstatic one might get when confronted with the prospect of being tickled red (we’re talking about wine here) instead of white or rose. Luckily that's exactly what happened when I slid into Mumm Napa to celebrate a birthday that will remain numberless. I was enchanted by the view which was a given, as I sat perched on café style tables ensconced in sun and mustard. If only they served appetizers and chocolates with my bubbly I might have camped out all weekend long at this spot. But there were many notches on my tasting trail to be checked off so I kept my visit brief and got right down to business. I loved, loved, loved all things Cuvee M – especially the Cuvee M Red. It was sparkling and red and not soda which in and of itself was remarkable. But that’s nothing compared to the taste. A jammy explosion of decadent cherry-cranberry fruit flavors with an ever so sweet tendency. This is the kind of wake up call I love to answer. My snoozing taste buds were awoken with this baby. The regular shaded variety of Cuvee M was also a delight. Creamy and dreamy. Sweet without being too sweet if that makes any sense at all. If it doesn’t it just trust me or truck your way to Mumm and taste for yourself. I’m pretty certain you won’t be disappointed regardless of which bubbly you decide to slurp down. I left feeling utterly giddy with my last taste of the DVX 2000. Creamy finish, browned toast scent and a delicious toasted marshmallow figgy essence lingered on my mouth at the end of my very pleasing and all too short taste of this bubbly. Mumms need not be the word when it comes to the sparkling wines at this joint. Blab all you like, that’s what I plan to do. Wacky WineSense Rating: 4.7 Grapes
Sparkling red need not be relegated to Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers
