First day of Spring, and already there is talk of Pink Elephants at Hillside Liquor Store. Of course, we aren't talking about REAL Pink Elephants- we're talking about the Elephant Island Pink Elephant Methode Champenoise sparkling wine! It will arrive in-store on Wednesday March 25th, and so should you if you are hoping to get your hands on a bottle of this highly anticipated fizz.
With thanks to Elephant Island and Sasha McCauley, rep for Elephant Island here in Victoria, lucky staff members of Hillside Liquor Store got to taste the Pink Elephant today.
It started out as a Granny Smith Apple Cuvee with a dosage of their Cassis, made in the traditional method in the Brut style. This results in a gorgeous bright-pink colour with plenty of bubbles, and a palate full of green apple, cassis, strawberry and raspberry. Refreshing, delicious, pretty...what more could you ask of a bubbly? Oh, and it has great packaging too.
Just the thing to celebrate a sunshine-y day, or to welcome Spring back! This beautiful bubbly will also complement picnic food-think yummy cheeses, dainty sandwiches, fresh bread, meats, salads- as well as fresh crab, scallops, chicken, ham, spicy foods, apple or pear desserts, chocolate desserts....
Look for it on Wednesday March 25th at Hillside Liquor Store- it will be available in the fridge!
