Best sparkling wine under $15

[Scoop]

In general, Cava (a Spanish sparkler made in the Champagne-style, produced primarily in Catalonia) delivers tremendous value. Of course there are the mega-producers, like Freixenet, but there are also smaller ones (Juve E Champs) and smaller labels from the big houses. One of these, Cristalino, retails for $10, and was a hit a recent tasting: nice small bubbles, dry, toasty and grapey on the palate. Great with tapas.

Cheers,
