What's the best way to nurture a craving for authentic French bubbly while buying American-made? Find a wine produced by French immigrant winemakers who fell for the warm days and cold nights of New Mexico. Alongside more refined champagnes, this sparkler might remind you of a pineapple-marshmallow Jell-o mold. But since when is that such a bad thing? Toasting in the holidays, you'll also note plenty of bubbles, some sour green apple and a zippy citrus finish. Found at North Shore Wine Merchant and The Wine Seller. -- Roahen
