So, last night we celebrated Valentine's Day with a platter of noshes and a bottle of Spanish Cava. The Cava was recommended by our friend, Wendy, at our local wine store. OMG! It was so good and so different from the typical, sparkling wine. The color had a soft, golden hue. The bubbles were very small and the froth was soooo creamy. The taste was not super crisp, or harsh, but soft and delecate and absolutely beautiful! I often describe wines, not by their taste, but by texture, or other emotional trigger words. I would describe this as a luxurious, Spanish lace. (That's the fashionista in me.) The DH and I both wish we had bought a second bottle. But, we're on a budget and we weren't out to get drunk, but just enjoy a good bottle of bubbles.

The name of the Cava is: Raventós i Blanc, Blanc de Blancs, 2021. I don't know what my hubby paid for it, but it was probably under $37.
