Answer 1

J Champagne

$25-30

From the J Wine Company Healdsburg, CA. This champagne (aka California Sparkling Wine) is world class. Nice hint of fruit ans specifically green apple.

It is a green bottle with a yellow J.

The woman that owns it Judy, her family owns Jordan the makers of great Cabernet.

Answer 2

Technically, only sparkling wines made in the Champagne region of France are true "champagnes," but I'm assuming that you want something that is a good equivalent.

Korbel makes a very decent domestic "champagne," and a Spanish maker, Friexenet is renowned for the outstanding value and quality of their sparkling wines.  Those can be had for $12 to $20 a bottle, depending on where you buy it.

Their Cordon *****... hmmm.... let's try that word again, it's Cordon, and the second part is spelled N-E-G-R-O -  is easily identified by the black bottle it comes in, hence the Spanish word for black being censored by Yahoo Answers.

Note: For all sparkling wines, "Brut" is very dry, lacking in residual sugars.  "Extra-dry" is a bit sweeter, but not sugary, and that's the flavor I prefer.  If you prefer dry, go for brut.

Answer 3

you should go to a wine store (preferably one that lets you sample) and ask the people that work there what they recommend.  give them a price range you're looking for and they can help you pinpoint a great selection!

Answer 4

My Husband and I did a champaign tasting last New Years Eve and we sampled the difference between Sparkling wine and Champaign, I was skeptical but shocked to find that even the most inexpensive champaign was far better then the most expensive sparkling wine.

A great inexpensive Champaign is Louis Roederer Brut Premier ($39.99 USD), you can read some reviews on it from wine spectator and Connoisseur's Guide from this site here: http://www.wineaccess.com/store/garyswin...

Answer 5

Moet

Chandon

if you never had it then always have some cold strawberies handy which is a must for Champaign any ways
