Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Cava White's bubbles and acid lift Salted Cakes — versatile and palate-cleansing.
White · Medium · Dry
Vouvray's quieter neighbor across the river — Chenin Blanc in dry, off-dry, sweet, and sparkling styles. Often a fraction of Vouvray's price with similar quality.

Montlouis-sur-loire White's body and acid balance Salted Cakes's flavor profile.

Red · Medium · Dry
Loire Cabernet Franc grown on warmer limestone soils — fruitier, more accessible, with red cherry and a touch of green pepper. Always food-friendly.
