Penedes, Spain – $16
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, you might be entering into panic mode about now. Is the turkey big enough? Do you have enough chairs? What the hell are you going to feed your brother’s vegan girlfriend?
We have a solution to this and other Thanksgiving-related predicaments: sparkling wine and LOTS of it.
Cava comes from Spain and is an affordable, everyday drinking version of French Champagne. The 1+1=3 Cava Brut is dry with delicious citrus flavors and is packed with tons of bubbles.
Stock up on this wine if you’re hosting. It will buy you time if dinner is running late and keep guests out of your hair while you do the last minute prep.
Cava also makes a great gift if you’re an attendee. Bring a bottle or two and pop immediately upon entering. Pour into glasses and distribute at will. We promise, your host will thank you!
Drink liberally with a pre-dinner cheese plate, while watching football or directly from the bottle while hiding in the bathroom to calm nerves.
