Cheers to your special occasion!
If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, this champagne does the trick. This one is really sweet, although if you prefer a taste that is a little more dry, go with the Brut.

I learned about Cava while visiting Spain. I really enjoyed it and have been trying this one while here in the states. It’s a little on the dry side, but not overpowering.
Segura Viudas Brut Rose
Not in the mood for champagne? Give this Prosecco a try. Very light and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness.

This Moscato is very refreshing! It’s sweet and goes down smoothly.
Risata Moscato d'Asti
This is my favorite champagne for special occasions. Very crisp and not too dry. It has a hint of sweetness but isn’t overpowering.
Moet & Chandon Rose Champagne
Red Wine
Rich, bold, flavors.
This red wine is bold in taste but has a nice peppery flavor. It’s more dry than sweet.
Augusta Winery Chambourcin
This lovely red wine pairs well with meals. A little on the dry side, the taste is very smooth.
La Marquesa by Valserrano Rioja Alavesa
This red blend has more of an earthy taste, but overall it’s pretty nice.
Bogle Phantom Red, 2021
White Wine
Light and refreshing.
I really like this brand of Riesling when I can find it. It has a crisp taste and has a nice balance of flavor between sweet and dry.
FUNF RIESLING
I’m a fan of the Skinny Girl Chardonnay. It’s low cal and doesn’t taste too watered down.
Skinnygirl Chardonnay
I love this Pinot! Low calorie and sugar free. It’s dry but I really like it.
Sunny with a Chance of Flowers Pinot Grigio
Fruity Wines
Dessert wines.
You can never go wrong with Arbor mist! The alcohol content is a bit lower than that of some other wines, but the flavors are so good. This is one of my favorites and it’s deliciously sweet.
Blackberry Merlot
I’m a fan of local wine. I find fruit wines to be especially enjoyable. St James Winery in Missouri offers blends in Apple, Blackberry and other flavors. So good!

Great for mixed drinks.
This vodka has a clean taste and blends well in drinks.
Tito's Handmade Vodka
This Margarita blend packs quite a punch. It’s good though.
