Anderson Valley, Calif., $37
From the California branch of the Louis Roederer champagne house, Roederer Estate has been producing some of California’s top bubbly for four decades in Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically and the care shows in the depth of flavor apparent in the wine. It’s fruitier than most champagne, although it may be hard to tell the difference. ABV: 12.5 percent. BW: 865 grams (Sparkling).

Champagne Bertrand Senecourt, Beau Joie Special Cuvée Brut
This 60-40 blend of pinot noir and chardonnay does a great job of balancing vibrant acidity, flavors of red currants and berries, and a crisp minerally finish. Although not indicated on the label, the website notes that no dosage is added to balance the wine with sweetness. None was needed. ABV: 12 percent. BW: 835 grams (Sparkling).
