And speaking of wine...

Let me throw out my personal favorite sparklers for under $20.

Piper Sonoma - Brut when you're looking for something dry, blanc de noir when you're sharpening your sweet tooth.
Gloria Ferrer - Same, although theirs might be blanc de blanc, not blanc de noir - whatever, so long as it's not blanc de bland.

Oh, and the Wine Spectator page is not free either. I guess, deep down, we're all $$$$ driven. But http://www.budgetvino.com/sparkling_wine/index.html shows some promise. I will certainly try the Rotari he recommends and asserts is better than Veuve. A bold claim, but one I can't wait to test.
