Never a drinker...now what???

Hi Douglas, and welcome to the Wine Board. Bubbly nomenclature is a little dizzying for newcomers. Will just go over the first two to keep it simple (don't try to figure out the logic). Brut means bone dry. Extra Dry means off dry. So, look for an Extra Dry, either in a Champagne, Spanish Cava, or California Sparkler. They all use the same terms. If Extra Dry is still too dry for you, we can talk about Demi Sec and Sec.
