Ginglinger-Fix Cremant d'Alsace Brut 2021

Know what this world needs…desperately?! BUBBLES! You. Me. The entire wine-loving world…EVERYONE!

Stop. Listen. You hear it? That whisper on the wind that set those hairs on the back of your neck to full attention? GINGLINGER-FIX, baby!!! 94 POINT Bubbly in da HOUSE! Oh, baby, I’ve been waiting for this!  OVER 40% OFF, too? Break out the…well, THIS!!! An all-time LB-super-fave, ORGANIC, biodynamic, the drink-all-the-time-even-in-the-bathtub bubbly to end all bubblies. 37% pinot blanc, 29% pinot gris, 17% pinot noir, and 17% chardonnay – all made and aged like fine Champagne, for way WAY less scrill! Two bottles, at all times, chilled. Trust me. 

Set amongst a fairytale backdrop – with the snow-capped Alps standing ominously above the local Jura Mountains – you’ll find the good folks of Ginglinger-Fix. Their estate here in Alsace has been in the family's hands for nearly 200 years – best known for their Grand Cru riesling and gewurztraminer. But for us? Those stunningly crisp and layered cremants grabbed our attention almost a decade back and we’ve been ga-ga for Ginglinger ever since. The ripe Bosc pear, the creamy and crunchy Gala apples…is that pie crust? With some cinnamon and nutmeg? You BET! Lemon balm and orange honey too…just…aaaaaahhhhh!!! For the cray-cray price of just TWENTY DOLLARS!!! Get a lot. Throw a party. Make onion tarts. And drink this…the…entire…TIME! You won’t regret it. I said 94 POINTS, right? Ok, then…

** Side note: For a while, a short yet beautiful dream – the good ole U.S. of A. was the hottest commodity in the bubble universe – like Fernet Branca at your favorite L.A. hipster bar…we just couldn’t keep it on the shelf. Now, ITALY is leading that charge – they’ve increased their bubbly consumption by some 40%!!! It was all the rage in Verona last week, and make no mistake – those pasta-loving, hand-accentuating, smooth-talking Italians are coming for our bubblies! Whatcha gonna do?!?! **
