Gruet Sparkling Wines - this is my favorite domestic sparkling wine - taste like Champagne without the price
Several generations ago, the Gruet family founded its first, famous
Champagne House and Vineyards in Bethon, France. In 1983, Gilbert
Gruet, whose Champagne house, Gruet e Fils had produced fine Champagne
in Bethon, France since 1952, traveled through the Southwestern part of
the United States. The Gruet family learned of a 17th century vineyard
in New Mexico and after researching climate conditions, soil and
altitude, it was decided that New Mexico's warm days and cool nights
would offer the perfect environment needed to produce exceptional
sparkling wine. Using only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for their
sparkling wines, they are carryng on the Gruet's great tradition of
making the perfect sparkling wines in the U.S. Check out all the
wonderful offerings.
