Markus Huber 2010 "Hugo" Nieder-österreich Rosé Sparkling ($14.99)

Clear, bright salmon color, pours up with a rich, creamy, pale-pink head that falls back gradually leaving "lace" to coat the glass. Light red-berry aromas lead into a bone-dry, fizzy and tart flavor with a hint of white grapefruit, refreshing and palate-cleansing. Gentle 11.5% alcohol and food-friendly acidity make it an excellent table wine; its appetizing fizz and crisp, clean flavor makes it a fine aperitif. An Austrian blend of Pinot Noir and Zweigelt.
