Blood Orange Brut Mule
'Tis the Season for Sparkling Brut
Savor the holiday spirit with Sterling Vineyards' Blood Orange Brut Mule cocktail. A sparkling blend of our crisp Brut and zesty blood oranges, it's the perfect toast to festive celebrations.
A classic style Brut, pure and delicate citrus quality is the very first impression on the nose. Distinct Eureka lemon flavors on palate entry are followed by a floral, fruitier Meyer lemon finish. Quite crisp and delicious.

Crostini with Mandarins & Pistachios
Sterling Vineyards California Brut tastes like a winter celebration in a glass, with festive bubbles and lots of seasonal citrus notes. Creamy ricotta toasts are topped with thin slices of mandarin oranges to echo the acidity of the bubbly wine, and pomegranate seeds plus chopped pistachios add festive color and crunch to finish the dish. We love to drizzle it with hot honey, but regular honey is delicious as well.
