St. Claire Mimosa

Saturday I tasted out something new, St. Claire Mimosa.  This is all the convenience of sparking wine and fresh squeezed orange juice in a bottle.  You just tip the bottle a couple times (do not shake) and pop the top (it has a bottle cap closure).  Who knew!  It's bright orange bottle is quite eye-catching and customers flocked to my table. 


St. Claire Mimosa ($10) is from St. Claire winery in New Mexico.  It is their Brut sparkling wine blended with  fresh squeezed orange juice.  Yes, it tastes like a mimosa.  A few customers commented that there wasn't enough orange  juice while others thought not enough sparkling wine.  Most thought it was great and it flew off my table. Personally, I thought there weren't enough bubbles.  This is easy-breezy for your holiday breakfast or brunch.  Personally, I enjoy Mimosas and other sparkling drinks while I'm in the kitchen preparing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.  (See tomorrows blog for those recipes.)  If  you want something quick and convenient, St. Claire Mimosa is worth a try.  

Winemaker's Notes:  The perfect brunch wine! Our Mimosa is the fail proof way to liven up your next gathering. We take lush, fresh sweet orange juice and blend it with our crisp, dry Brut sparkling wine to create a perfectly blended Mimosa, without the fuss. Just gently tilt the bottle to mix, pop the top, and your next Sunday brunch will be filled with a delicious sparkling wine that is lively and expressive.
