Domaine Carneros Brut Vintage Cuvée

Most grocery stores aren’t necessarily known for their highly curated wine sections. Many wine enthusiasts would rather browse the shelves of an independent wine shop than grab one of the usual suspects lined up next to the deli meats. Alas, the real world doesn’t always work that way. And in the real world, you may find yourself at 6:12 p.m. needing something for the impromptu dinner you’re hosting, and the closest place is your local supermarket chain.

Of course, not all grocery store wine is created equal. Here are 17 of my favorite all-stars at varying price points, generally available nationwide at many popular stores. Founded by the family behind Champagne Taittinger, Domaine Carneros delivers traditional method sparkling wine credibility in California style. Close your eyes and you are indeed at a French Château, not grabbing a bottle from your local grocery store.
