First, there was a book.

There were five books, actually. The fourth of which was Rosé All Day: The Essential Guide to Your New Favorite Wine. When it was published in spring of 2017, the world went wild for rosé. All day. And all that.

Author Katherine Cole swore to never write another book after that. But the good people of the world were out there, and they were drinking wine, and it soon became apparent that the thing everyone was sipping now was sparkling, not so much pink. And if there was one style of wine Katherine liked better than rosé, it was bubbly. So that settled it: Rosé All Day needed a companion. And that companion had to be effervescent…

see how cute they look together?

So here we have Sparkling Wine Anytime: The Best Bottles to Pop for Every Occasion. Because Katherine couldn’t help herself. She couldn’t contain her excitement about Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, Lambrusco, pét-nat, and more.

This extremely important book is full of extremely important facts. Such as this tidbit on the subject of optimum serving temperatures: “Not-so-good bubbly starts to stick out awkwardly above about 60°F, increasingly tasting like a giraffe wrapped in tin foil. (You know: gawky, awkward, tinny, and maybe a little feral, furry, and fleshy.)”

Filled with playful illustrations by artist Mercedes Leon as well as helpful infographics, Sparkling Wine Anytime is an effervescent conversation tackling history, winemaking information, world regions, tasting notes, cocktail recipes, food pairings, and bottle recommendations for any budget… all in light, bubbly prose.
