This refreshing bubbly comes from the Mendoza Region of Argentina near the Andes. Ernesto Catena and family produce a wonderful Brut of Chardonnay and Pinot Blend. It has aromas of white fruit like pear & pineapple with a slightly toasty aftertaste.

Screwcaps are no longer for "cheap" wines. Learn from Joy Nordenstrom, Host of Intelligent Love, why New Zealand lead the world of winemakers on putting a positive spin on the use of screwcaps. A basic knowledge of an importer and/or producer of a wine will give you a good bet on finding inexpensive wines that most people will not recognize as cheap wine. The key is finding something slightly undiscovered that you like at a good price point. Plus, having the behind the scenes story on a wine or a wine growing region will always be good small talk when presenting your wine selection. Join Joy and Chef Curtis Aikens, Host of Screaming Fresh, in the second episode of the Joy of Romance Wine Series. Immersed in the world of wine for a few years, Joy started a company importing wine from New Zealand in 1997 before most people knew the country even made wine. She was also an assistant wine buyer at a local San Francisco restaurant called Absinthe and managed their wine shop, then called Amphora. Wine has played an integral part in Joy s life. In addition to sharing her findings and knowledge of love, romance and relationships, wine is one of Joy s other favorite passions.
