Houston Sommeliers’ Picks for Best Sparkling Wines for the Holidays

Houstonians in need of Champagne and sparkling wine recommendations, look no further. Houston Food Finder reached out to top sommeliers and wine directors in the area to get their insider recommendations on what to enjoy this holiday season. In the story, they spoke with Vanessa Traveño Boyd, sommelier and wine director at The Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa, and she was quick to recommend Champagne Ayala, ‘Brut Majeur’ NV for its value and taste.  She adds, “This is one of the most compelling, entry-level Champagnes on shelves today. Its round fruitiness is driven by a generous amount of Pinot Noir, making it a crowd-worthy selection, but the house style is one that is low on added dosage, keeping that fruit-forwardness in check for the lover of the crisp, lean, linear style. Plus, its alignment with the house of Bollinger guarantees its access to top quality fruit. Bravo to Cellarmaster Caroline Latrive.” Read the full story here
