New Year’s Wine!
New Year’s Eve approaches, and we can tell people want to raise a glass! After a bit of “cabin fever” this last week, from crazy weather and then just sloppy streets, most people I’ve talked to are ready to have a great time.
So as you raise that glass, just make sure it’s good stuff. It’s fairly easy to pick sparkling wine that is excellent and won’t give you a headache.
And even better, there are so many different kinds of sparkling wines to choose from— Champagne is always a great choice, but there’s a lot more to consider. There’s bubbles made by French winemakers in Northern California (Roderer), great stuff from Australia (Cockatoo Ridge), or a crisply dry and fascinating sparkling Malbec from Argentina called Alma Negra. Heck, there’s even sparkling wine made in New Mexico, and it’s really superb stuff.
Vino Verite will be open late on New Year’s Eve, and we’ve put a lot of bubbles in the cooler. Stop on by if you want to taste a pour or two, and let us guide you to some excellent choices.
At the very least, come clink a glass with us. We’ve had a great time this year becoming part of the Capitol Hill community. We’re so glad we opened the shop where we did, and everyone has been great. We’re happy to celebrate with you.
It’s been a scary year in many ways, but I believe that with every raised glass there is hope and great intentions. We mean it when we say “cheers!”
So say it loud, and put your glass up with confidence. It is what we make it, after all.
Best,
Haj
