I popped into St. John in Spitalfields to have a look at their lunch menu, and instead stayed for a glass of this lovely Alsatian sparkler. I liked it enough to buy a bottle from the shop.I'm a big fan of Alsatian wines to begin with, and was longing to try a Cremant from the region for a while now, and this was the first one I've seen available by the bottle in a shop.
It was well-received around the table, and I'll definitely be trying more. It's not as complex as Champagne, but it's a great aperitif and is very nice with food.
