Wine: Allan Scott Cecilia Brut, Marlborough $24

Why I chose it:

- I like it very much, especially the price.
- It’s a perfect “stand-by” wine in case of unexpected visitors.
- It is a real crowd-pleaser.
- A wine for all seasons.
- I haven’t chosen a sparkling wine for while.

What does it taste like?

- A blend of pinot noir and chardonnay with a creamy, yeast-infused palate that is both fresh and mellow with restrained complexity. A perfect balance of subtle sweetness and mouth-watering acidity.

Why it’s a bargain:

- Bottle-fermented sparkling wine is expensive to make, you won’t find too many good examples under $25.

Where can you buy it?

- Whisky and More, Waikato $20.99 -Big Barrel stores $less than $23
- Glengarry, Auckland $22.99

Food match?

-Canapes, especially seafood, particularly oysters. It doesn’t need the complication of food.

Will it keep?

- Good for a few years although it isn’t vintage-dated. Drink it up.
