Sparkling Wine, Champagne, or Prosecco?

All are fantastic options for Galentine's Day, each offering something unique! Champagne brings sophistication and complexity, perfect for those seeking a luxurious touch to their celebration. Prosecco is light, fruity, and fun—ideal for a casual, upbeat gathering with friends. Meanwhile, sparkling wine offers versatility, with various styles ranging from dry to sweet, ensuring something for everyone. To achieve that grandeur touch, our new Veuve Cliquot selection is a great and elegant choice for your table! For a more affordable Champagne pairing, our Emmolo No. 6 Sparkling Méthode Traditionnelle showcases that desired style on a budget. Our bubbly Proseccos, Jeio Valdobbiadene Prosecco Brut N.V. and Medici Ermete i Quercioli Reggiano Lambrusco Secco N.V., are fabulous selections to pour with your girlfriends! Each with persistent bubbles and effervescent flavors. Our Sparkling Wine collection ranges from Brut Rosés to Blanc de Blancs, ensuring your night with friends is full of bubbly bliss!

Fun & Festive Galentine’s Day Cocktails

Some bubbly pink cocktails for your shiny spread are a fantastic way to get the party started! Using Mathieu-Gandon Rosé Nature Champagne N.V., our Rose Spritzer will light up your evening with a salmon pink color with flecks of gold, delicate bubbles, and a luscious halo of mousse! Mixed with sparkling water, this Champagne will shine on its own with its subtle whiff of dried roses and ripe strawberry notes! Our Blackberry Thyme Spritzer is a more complex yet tasty cocktail, using any Prosecco or Champagne of your choice. Delicate effervescence meets a sugary zestiness that you can’t beat! With this gin and sparkling wine spritzer, you will become the life of the party! Our Strawberry Champagne brings a sweet, pink treat to your lips as you sip this balanced, fruity cocktail. The nose of Mathieu-Gosztyla Champagne Brut Tradition N.V. is pleasant, fruity, and delicate with the dominance of red fruits like raspberry that will complement well with the strawberries and hints of honey for a sweeter taste. For a little less pink but just as refreshing, our Sunset Spritzer has that same effervescence with a hint of orange zest alongside Guy de Chassey Champagne Brut Rosé N.V.’s red and black fruit balance. We hope these colorful and fizzy cocktails will spark beautiful inspiration for your Galentine’s Day! 

Charcuterie & Sweets: Perfect Pairings for Bubbly

When it comes to food pairings with Sparkling Wine, there are plenty of delightful options that enhance its effervescence. Our Kale Pesto Crostini Cheese Board with Parmesan, Asiago and Romano cheeses make a perfect companion. For a fresh touch, serve fruit like juicy strawberries and citrus slices, which complement the wine's crispness! Light hors d'oeuvres like smoked salmon crostini or prosciutto-wrapped melon also pair beautifully with bubbly, offering a balance of savory and sweet that elevates the experience. These snacks will make your Sparkling Wine even more enjoyable, whether celebrating with friends or indulging in a quiet moment of luxury!

In terms of pairing chocolate with bubbly, the combinations are both delicious and decadent! Milk chocolate pairs beautifully with Prosecco, highlighting its fruity and light characteristics. For the rich bitterness of dark chocolate, opt for a crisp Brut Champagne, which complements the depth of flavor. Dark strawberry chocolate and Rosé Champagne make a perfect match, as the berry notes in the wine enhance the chocolate's sweetness. White chocolate is best enjoyed with a delicate Blanc de Blancs Champagne, its smoothness balancing the creaminess of the chocolate. For an indulgent treat, pair chocolate truffles with a luxurious Sparkling Rosé, while a slice of chocolate cake is best paired with a sweet sparkling wine to enhance the dessert's richness. These pairings bring out the best in your wine and the chocolate, making each bite and sip a true delight!

Get creative with a Galentine’s Day charcuterie board with heart-shaped foods, vibrant pink cheeses, and playful crackers! For a colorful touch, include heart-shaped salami slices, pink peppercorn goat cheese, and rose-infused cheeses. Add pink-hued fruit like strawberries, raspberries, or watermelon, and mix in some rose-flavored crackers or edible flowers for extra flair. Don’t forget a few sweet treats like pink macarons or chocolate-covered strawberries to round out the board!

As you prepare to celebrate Galentine’s Day, remember that the magic is in the details. Whether it’s the perfect bottle of bubbly, fun-filled cocktails or delightful food pairings, everything comes together to create a memorable experience. From sparkling wine pairings to fun and festive cocktails, your celebration will sparkle as brightly as the friendships you’re honoring.
