Looking for an out-of-this-world wine experience? What better way to celebrate the holidays in style than by drinking stars. To do just that, splurge on this magnum (the equivalent of two bottles) from the iconic California winery, Iron Horse.
The label art on the impressive, limited-release bottling is an awe-inspiring image from the James Webb Space Telescope. According to the winery, the image “shows the Cosmic Cliffs of the Carina Nebula. The scientists say it unveils the earliest, never seen before, rapid phases of star formation.”
Brimming with beautiful bubbles, the Stargazing Cuvéeoffers enjoyment that is like sipping vinous stars. The sparkler is rich and lush on the palate, wrapped with exotic notes of persimmon and spice. Give it as a special gift or uncork it with family and friends. You can then toast the splendor of a star’s birth while awaiting the beginnings of a bright new year. Cheers!
