I can’t remember what it’s called but there was this one green bottle of fizzi from Italy. Gary V used it for a food pairing with Brian Freedman in some Youtube video (I know I’m being a lot of help here… but I just can’t remember).

Outside of that, Fat Tire!

QOTD: This goes back aways, Mountain Dew. At 10 years old you would
put a Sweet Tart in a new bottle and this would fizz over.

My wife has requested we by this Desert wine. I do not know
if this expanding or messing up my palate.
