Better late than never! I wanted to have this episode out before New Years so we could all talk about sparkling wine together but alas... I had a lazy holiday and I decided not to continue this season until the New Year.\\xa0 So Happy New Year I hope you had all the wine, all the mulled wine and all the sparkling wine!\\xa0

This is Cava Part 1. What can you expect? History, Grape Profiles and Producers in this episode. Cheers and you see next week for part 2 where we talk about geography, soil and RULES! Fun!\\xa0
