This is a good one from California...

NV
Roederer Estate Brut Sparkling (750ML)


Varietal: Blend
Aged from one to three years, wines from Roederer Estates reserve cellar are added to a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Roederer style, known for its body, finesse and depth of flavor. "A delicious California sparkler with rich and toasty aromas up front, and a follow-up that features focused and complex lemon, grapefruit, herb, green apple and pear flavors. It's bright and clean on the finish, quite refreshing…90." WS

About $20.

And...

Gloria Ferrer Brut California Sparkling Wine NV

Number 97 on Wine Spectator top 100 wines of 2004.

An exceptional value. Round and full-bodied, with rich, ripe apple, pear and honeydew melon flavors. This complex sparkler has a nice touch of yeast and doughy aroumas that give it added flavor, turning creamy with a touch of vanilla. Drink now through 2009. 90/100 Wine Spectator "Wine of the Week" Oct 11,2004

About $19.
