Oh, come on. Were you really expecting anything different?

Yes, with New Year's Eve but a few scant days away, we're reaching deep into our trove of all things bubbly and bright to select a few gems of all price points for tonight's tasting. Expect some stellar Champagne, of course--but don't be surprised if a rich, creamy Cremant de Bourgogne, a bracing, refreshing Cava, or a steely, mineral Cremant de Loire makes an appearance as well. Come thirsty.
