Thanks for the reminder. I forget about Cava and I love sparkling.

You get really good quality for the price with cava, but also with a lot of the sparkling wines that are produced outside of the cava regions. Sparkling wines produced in Rias Baixas on the albariño grape can be really amazing and at a very affordable price.

I’m a big FC Barcelona fan, and doing my trip to Barca. I ran across a white festival, and at the festival, everyone was passing out this wine call Cava which I didn’t know anything about… but what an enjoyable, sparkling wine

Navigating La Xampanyeria's of Barcelona is FUN!!

Enjoyed this a lot, particularly the detail on regions and classification. Great mix of visuals as usual. Most of all loved your reaction to tasting the Paraje. Can’t make up that “oh my” moment! 🥂

Cava is amazing. I’ve not had El CEPs Paraje but I’ve their Gran Reserva in my cellar, paid under $18 a bottle for a case! Such a great QPR that makes it an everyday drinker fiz! Great video!

Cava is my all time favorite and go-to Sparkling Wine! I love ALL of the classifications Cava has to offer. I have Tulip Shaped Glasses for the Reservas, Gran Reservas, & Parajes. I use a flute for the Guardas. I also love the Cava Rosados as well. Love the video so much! I also have the Wine Folly: The Master Guide Edition. Madeline, your videos have inspired me to become a Sommelier! Especially in Cava and other Sparkling Wines around the world! Thank You So Much for your informative videos and literature! Big Hugs & Cheers To You!!!! 🍾🥂✨🥂🍾🤗📚🇪🇦🍾✨🍾🥂✨🥂

Came here hoping for Cava de Paraje Calificado and was not disappointed! Great insights. Looking forward to seeing more of it becoming available with time (although sometimes it's nice to keep it a secret!) Hoping to track down the Juvé & Camps La Capella next.

I love this video! Can you also do one on Prosecco, and maybe other sparkling wines of France (besides Champagne of course)?

Superb Bubbly Video!

I love your work and this is a grreat video! Trying to get my head into the wine world after a few years in whisky and your website and content are amazing, and it's just refreshhing to see someone so passionate and making the learning process fun and engaging.

Thanks for this video. Now I have a better understanding of Cava. I’d heard of it before but only just enjoyed my first glass a few months ago. I will definitely watch for it again on a restaurant’s wine list

Never knew Cava had quality levels- guess I have to level up from Freixenet! 🍾😅

Mmmm... Mas Xarot Gran Reserva Enoteca. Only 84 months on lees :D You should try!

Still in the first minute but commenting because your kitchen is beautiful! I don't know if I've ever seen it in a video before!

Great video! I love learning about Cava wine! Fine bubbles always make me happy! How do we purchase the last one? Extremely special!🥂

Thank you very much! 🙏

Very interesting video thanks for you generosity. Just a small comment, TIRAGE is when the yeast and sugar is added to the wine so that it goes through the 2nd fermentation in the bottle. If anyone is visiting Catalonia which is where most of the Cava wine is produced, be sure to visit all the beautiful wine regions we have here! Thanks again

En tirage is on the lees ageing

yeah, Christine, our MS busted me also and told me "extended bottle aging" but I think en tirage works as well.

I have been drinking cava since 2005. Since I'm barely 39.

Champagne is still the king, but Cava is definitely one of the best lower-priced alternatives, along with sparkling Burgundy and German Sekt.

I so badly want to go shopping right now

My wife and I prefer cava and cremant to champagne... they are, to our taste, equivalent yet far more cost-friendly. Recently, we found a vineyard in Traverse City, Michigan that has some very nice daily (not daily) drinking sparkling wines. (Mawby)

You essentially implied that the secondary fermentation method of champenoise inherently produces superior products than the ones that utilize charmat...

If you're looking for toasty/nutty flavors from extended bottle aging and higher bottle pressure resulting in longer bubble finesse, then the sparkling wines made with the traditional method are superior for those specific traits. But I don't look for those traits in great Valdobbiadene, I look for a different set of traits.
