Drink of the Week
Australian sparkling Sémillon
This is fun, and besides, you need something with bubbles after all those barbecue reds in last week’s column: an Australian sparkling Sémillon from the Bimbadgen Ridge line. This is bright and easy bubbles in a nicely weighted wine, thanks to the substance Sémillon delivers; unobtrusive natural sweetness; and a lengthy finish. The cry for more goes up as soon as the glass is drained. The $15.99 price tag puts it a couple of bucks beyond the clutch of Aussie sparklers (Yellow Tail, Banrock Station, Yellowglen), but it delivers more taste pleasure. Good cold—keep some extra in the fridge.
