2. New Paso Robles Sparkling Wine Map

Ooh-la-la! The first-ever Paso Robles Sparkling Wine Map is finally here. Call it what you will - bubbly, fizz, sparkling wine or bubbles - California sparkling wine certainly packs a punch when it hits your lips!
 
It may not be able to legally call itself ‘Champagne’ because it isn’t produced in the Champagne region of France, but California’s Central Coast boasts some of the very best sparkling wine in the world – and it’s even made using the same methods – or ‘method champenoise’ - used in the Champagne region of France.
 
Paso Robles has more than 30 sparkling wine producers bringing some superb bubbles to the county, so sparkling wine-lovers will be spoilt for choice with tasting options that showcase everything from the French classic-style sparkling wines to bubbles that tip their hat at the Italian Proseccos.
 
You can now use the Sparkling Wine Map to find them all: which local wineries make sparkling wine, and most importantly, where you can have a taste. Maps can be downloaded online at www.calicoastwinecountry.com.
