We recently picked up a bottle of Allimant-Laugner Crémant d’Alsace Brut (Vintages 30593, $19.95), since we’re fond of cracking open a bottle of fizzy for random celebratory occasions such as Tuesdays, and we’ve long since run out of the Crémant d’Alsace we buy from Opimian. Very fresh, lots and lots and LOTS of green apple — Granny Smith specifically, all three tasters agreed. We could all picture it being just perfect for a hot day.

Like, say, today.

There’s lots left in most stores.
