1. 2012 California Classic Sparkling Wine by Hammersky
Hammersky offers both a classic brut and a demisec sparkling wine.
The “HammerSky Classic” is a demisec, great for pairing with fruit and cheeses as a lighter dessert after dinner, bright and effervescent with a touch of residual sugar on the ending notes
The “Naughty Princess: Detained” is more of a traditional brut style; while not as dry as a French champagne, it has a much crisper mouth-feel, and hints of apple to pair perfectly with with any celebration and meal, including your event or party for tonight!
