2022 Division Wine Co. “Polka Dots" Gamay, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE

The Gamay vineyard, Carousel Vineyard, in the Columbia Valley has been their still rosé vineyard since 2013 and has been used as a component for some of the other sparkling wines, but deep down, they knew that the Gamay from Carousel wanted to star in its own bubbles show. This wine literally could replace the mimosa as the greatest brunch accompaniment - something to consider when you're deciding how many bottles to stock up on.
