Scharffenberger Brut (USA) 750 ml.
$16.99, Save $3.00
Scharffenberger Cellars has established itself
as a maker of fine, ultra-premium American sparkling wines. This wine is two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay, which is
reflected in the nose of cherry and plum and the tropical expressions of mango and lychee nut. Notes of pastry and freshly baked bread, hazel and caramel add to its wonderful complexity.

Laurent Perrier Vintage Brut 1997 750 ml.
$43.00, Save $15.00
Laurent-Perrier makes vintage Champagne only in the best years, and the 1997 harvest began with frigid temperatures, followed by spring frosts, good conditions at flowering and a hot August, all of which produced high sugar levels along with concentrated acidity. This wine has tiny bubbles, a deep golden-yellow color, aromas of grapefruit, peaches and oranges, and a lingering crispness.

$27.99, Save $12.00
Pleasing and refreshing, this bottle of bubbly is great for any celebration. With wonderfully balanced flavors and aromas, it is made from grapes harvested at the peak of maturity. Since 1785, Piper-Heidsieck has strived to produce wines that are stylish, structured and vivacious. Enjoy a bottle over a candlelit meal with your sweetheart!

Delamotte Brut N.V. 750 ml.
$29.99, Save $20.00
From the fifth-oldest Champagne house in the region, this wine has a clean fruity finish. A light golden color, the bouquet hints of citrus, lemon peel and blooming white flowers. Well- balanced, pleasant and appealing, it is delightful as an aperitif, and delicious with dessert.
