    Hi Adrienne:




    You certainly made this Cava sound quite enticing. I have never had a higher end Cava before, mainly because nearly all of the wine stores that I shop at don't have any available. They are lucky to have 3 or 4 Cavas available, and generally in the $10-15 range. I will take a look for this Cava, though might have to order it somewhere. Thanks.

    Hi Richard,




    Well, of course one of the nicest things about cavas is how inexpensive they are relative to other similar wines (not mentioning any names), and I actually love the fact that cavas ingeneral cost around 10-15, but yes, this is one to try!





    Thanks for the comment!

    Hi Adrienne:




    I also think that Cavas are more accessible than many Champagnes. I have found a number of people who do not care for the yeasty taste of Champagne, but enjoy the more fruity flavor of a Cava. I actually recommended a Cava to the owner of a local restaurant, as an alternative to Champagne, and now the Cava has become a standard at his restaurant. He even pairs the Cava on many of his wine dinners. It certainly helps that most Cavas are relatively inexpensive, and good values.

    I was just thumbing through the new issue of Wine & Spirits magazine (June 2007) and they have a list of their 100 Top Values of the Year. In the Sparkling Wine category, there are only 4 listings, two of which are Cavas.
