As the French say, “La vie est trop courte pour boire du mauvais vin,” meaning: “Life is too short to drink bad wine.”
If Only Extra: Sparkling wine, including Champagne and Prosecco, is naturally gluten free. For our Keto conscious friends, a glass of brut or extra dry champs is right around 2 carbs per glass.
If Only Extra: The suggestions given in the links above are great and I aspire to try them all. But now you get the If Only suggestion: Wycliff Brut California Champagne. It’s about $6 a bottle but is not cheap, rather just inexpensive. One liquor store expert shared the reason it is so hard to buy is because it is the #1 catered champagne. Hotels, party venues, and restaurant groups buy it in volume. So does your blogger – I used to buy Wycliff by the case for parties, serving simple bellinis of a glass of Wycliff with a splash of peach schnapps. Cheers! 🥂
