French sparkling wine made using the traditional method, but not from Champagne, is called Crémant—and just 150 miles east of that famous region is Alsace, where one can find beautiful bubbly for a share of the price of Champagne! Lovely with lemon and grapefruit on the nose, the palate is pretty with pear, apple a hint of vanilla and a marvelous mousse of bubbles that will leave you licking your lips for another taste! Great with hors d’oeuvres or oysters and always perfect for a party!
