Bon Vivant\u2019s California Sparkling Wines are designed to be high-quality but no-frills offerings, presenting celebratory bottlings that won\u2019t break the bank. We tasted both expressions available \u2014 both of which are non-vintage offerings. Intriguingly, both are 60% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir.<\/p>\n

NV Bon Vivant California Sparkling Wine<\/strong> \u2013 Big apple and pear notes dominate a creamy, Cremant-like body, which highlights overtones of toasted coconut and the foamed milk resting atop a latte. Crisp and fruity on the finish, with a sweetness that evokes memories of Apple Jacks. That said, I was a Cocoa Puffs guy.\u00a0B+ \/ $30<\/strong><\/p>\n

NV Bon Vivant California Sparkling Rose<\/strong> \u2013 Not overly different from the Brut expression, with apples and pears remaining dominant on the attack. A hint of strawberry and a rose petal floral note are in the mix, but neither is particular earnest, the finish bright but laced with a little vanilla. Again, breakfast cereal on Sunday morning isn\u2019t out of the picture.\u00a0B+ \/ $34<\/strong><\/p>\n
