This is a fun little bubbly we reviewed recently and really enjoyed. It doesn't exist. This is surprisingly good bubbly for the price. The price is right for some US bubbly that is tasty and classy, and if you're half in the bag come midnight this will work just fine for your toast. Their Brut Rose is a good pick too.

So there you have it; a nice selection of Costco bubblies for all tastes and budgets. As I mentioned before, we'll be opting for the Kirkland Champagne, which is still probably the 1 Kirkland wine we consume the most in our household. It just goes with anything, any cuisine, any occasion, any company. I can't recommend it enough. We hope you have a fantastic New Year.

If you've hung with us this long, I'm excited to share this next bit with you. I'm sure many of you have seen people saber Champagne bottles, meaning they cut the top off with a sword or long knife. I've always wanted to learn how to do this, and guess what?

It's surprisingly easy, and will be a great trick to pull out of your hat on New Years. Granted, I'd recommend trying a few bottles before you gather everyone around for the show. The Kirkland Proseccos make a good choice here since they're so inexpensive. But I bet you'll get the hang of it pretty easy. Here's how it went down for me.

I watched a few videos, but this is one from Wine Folly was spot on; plus she does it with a spoon, so make no excuses. Step 1: Remove the foil and cage from around the cork. Also remove any decorative stickers at the top because you need a clean swipe at it. Step 2: find a blade. I used a samurai sword that I just happened to have but you can use literally anything.

It doesn't have to be sharp at all. It's the force that makes it work, and when applied in the right spot it will work every time. You can use a simple butter knife. Step 3: Look for the seam in the bottle, where the glass comes together. Follow that seam all the way to the neck. The spot where the seam intersects with the fat part of the neck ring is the exact spot you want to aim for.

I've had a few bottles over the years and have always enjoyed them.

This Champagne is widely available and almost always in stock, at least in the stores around the Atlanta area. It's fairly easy to find this bottle for that price elsewhere, including Total Wine that matches Costco's price. So this is one of those semi-rare instances where we're not getting any price advantage buying the bottle at Costco, which is a bummer.

The wine however, is delicious and perhaps a bit better than I expected. It really is a perfectly balanced sparkling wine that is crisp, flavorful, interesting, complex and hard to put down. This wine is a medium gold in glass with citrus fruit on the nose; flavors of lemon, pear and green apple with a touch of macadamia nut; it is medium in body with a gentle effervescence; ultra dry in the finish.
