 Sparkling wine, because it's the season.  And this one is crafted from the classic blend of 

indigenous white grapes Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel.lo in Catalonia, Spain.

Wishing you all  a very merry Christmas and  a  happy New Year!

This blog will hibernate for several weeks. Cheers!

Y is for yeast

Brewing yeast,  that is. There are many varieties of brewing yeast to complement the beverage of choice. Each variety of yeast has advantages, such as champagne yeast, a variety of wine yeast, which will yield more bubbles than other types of wine yeast. Source. Cheers,  ABC Wednesday.
