($41, Skurnik):  A blend of three red grapes — so technically a Blanc de Noirs — this white wine is an outstanding sparkler and shows that the Champagne region does not hold a monopoly on high-quality bubbly.  Creamy and persistent, it demonstrates power and elegance.  Drink it as an aperitif, and then take it to the table.  It’s perfect for the multi-flavors of tapas, because it’s spine of acidity allows it to cut through the plethora of flavors on the table and reinvigorate the palate.
