Tasting Tonight With My Wife @ Home In Northern Virginia after a lovely white snow feel the SALTON Brut Non-Vintage Espumante, $14.99 : Lovely With The French Brie De Meaux Our Daughter Bought In Paris & Brought Home Last Week : Cheers, Happy Holidays Everyone!

Brought a bottle of the SALTON Brut espumante sparkling wine home last night, Saturday Deecember 7th, 2013 to enjoy here in northern Virginia with my family. Turns out we enjoyed it just my wife and I here on a snowy white late afternoon, early evening while listening to the c.d. by Jim Stutsman called his : " Winter Sampler " of old, classic songs that he puts together to share seasonally. he was the drummer since the beginning of the Washington Opera that performs at the Kennedy Center here in Washington D.C., Northwest. We love the music he assembles and shares with his friends. Tonight was no exception. We enjoyed the SALTON Brut, $14.99 ( the price at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20008, Tel : 202-363-4265  anthony.quinn@clevelandparkwines.com ) - we tasted it to grand success this past Wednesday at our Big-Theme Sparkling Wine-Tasting of 35 different bubblies . Tonight it showed really well all by itself before I brought out the cheeses : a creamy American herbed goat's cheese, a " Crotin de Chevre " and a " Brie De Meaux " that my daughter purchased and brought back last week from the Charles de Gaulle airport outside of Paris, France. The Brie de Meaux was fabulous with the SALTON, it worked beautifully, even with an older brie like this. That was a nice thing to notice. It was a delight, and we enjoyed it thoroughly, finishing the bottle over two-three hours just the two of us. Obregado SALTON Brut espumante!  Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 12/8/13
