Almond Sparkling Wine Champagne, Rapazzini Winery

February 26, 2014 by Wine Food Explorer

Wine of the Week

By Denise Donegan

wine and glassesOn a recent visit throughout the Santa Clara Valley wine region I rediscovered a culinary treat that I had originally found four years earlier – Almond Sparkling Wine Champagne from Rapazzini Winery in Gilroy. A fruity, yet masculine delight. Created by Alex Larson, Rapazzini’s own “food guy,” a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Alex’s creative approach to winemaking led him to this unusual and delectable concoction that pairs delightfully with desserts and cakes alike.

As an added bonus, I found in their tasting room the perfect wine glass to house this bubbly sensation – the original stemmed jelly jar champagne flute from Redneck.

Rapazzini Winery is located at 4350 Monterey Highway in Gilroy. For more information call the winery at (408) 842-5649 or visit www.rapazziniwinery.com. This wine is available on their website for $14.95.
