New episode: A suprising, sparkling tasting at Rarecat Wines, Napa Valley
Pro tip: Don't swirl the bubbles!
We introduced you to Sharon Kazan Harris, owner and winemaker at Rarecat Wines, in our first episode of the year. Truth is, that tasting experience was so damn good that we took an entire portion of it, centered on her expertise in sparkling wines, and made it a standalone episode. And it’s so worth it.
Sharon owns and operates vineyards in both Napa Valley and France. And she makes bubbles—including honest-to-goodness Champagne. The grapes, technique, method, the life and—yes—the death of yeast. They all come together to create the effervescence so many of us love.
Sharon introduces us to two sparkling wines—identical in Blanc de Barbera grapes, yet entirely different based on the Traditionelle and Charmat methods. Rarecat is pure, delicious alchemy—it’s a must-visit for your own visit to the Napa Valley area!
Enjoy the episode. And if you want to try the two Blanc de Barbera sparkling wines for yourself, you’re in luck—they’re available in Rarecat’s online store:
