The world of sparkling wine tends to revolve around a handful of varietals (often the two main Champagne grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay). Tonight we are flying off the handle a bit by highlighting some grapes that are rarely used for the production of sparkling wines. From Sardinian Vermentino aged under the ocean to a forgotten French grape, these wines are quirky, delicious, and show how using odd materials can create something truly unique.
