Domaine Giachino Domaine Giachino Savoie Blanc Pet-Nat Giac Bulles 2019 $34.99 “Fresh and light, with only 10% alcohol, this Jacquère-based wine screams après-ski! Pair it with some cheesy fondue with ripe pears and perfectly crisp apples to complement those notes you'll find in the nose.” — Holly Berrigan, sommelier at Vine Drop see on flatiron wines & spirits

Chartogne-Taillet Chartogne-Taillet 'Cuvée St Anne’ Champagne Brut NV $49.98 “Even though Chartogne-Taillet is a rather young estate from the lesser-known village of Merfy, Alexandre Chartogne shows just how good Champagne can be without a 1er or Grand Cru label. This glass is energetic, linear, and complex despite its weight.” — Taylor Grant, founder of Salutay see on B21

Agrapart Agrapart 7 Cru Brut Champagne $54.99 “[This] is my go-to Champagne when I want to celebrate... Notes of creamy lemon and tangy apple with a long complex almond skin finish. Pairs well with all things raw bar.” — Marissa Reiser, sommelier for Le Moné see on K&L Wine Merchants

Schramsberg Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs $34.99 “I really like Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs, which is complex chardonnay-based sparkling perfect for a toast or next to a cheese board. It has notes of green apple, honey, brioche, and peach.” — Tara Hankinson, co-founder of TALEA Beer Co. see on drizly

Nomadica Sparkling White $58 “In our Sparkling White, we blend chardonnay with a touch of muscat to evoke lively notes of citrus, hints of nectarine, a whisper of melon. All of this dances on a backdrop of effervescence — the cool, electric bounce of frizzante crispness makes for a perfect NYE pairing." — Kristin Olszewski, sommelier and founder of Nomadica see on nomadica

A. Lamblot NV A. Lamblot Mouvance Brut Nature $65 “A former sommelier from Paris, Alexandre Lamblot took over the Domaine just a few years ago... His 2017 Mouvance is super beautiful, featuring a heavy hand of Meunier, showcasing how the gray duckling grape of Champagne can reach profound heights.” — Thatcher Baker-Briggs, founder of Thatcher's Wine Consulting see on Thatcher's Wine Consulting

Vinovore Jacquart Champagne Brut Rose $54 “This wine is both fancy and fun like Molly Ringwald at prom in Pretty in Pink ! Tiny bubbles with strawberry jam on toasted brioche, walnuts, grapefruit, and a delightfully dry finish.” — Coly Den Haan, sommelier and founder of Vinovore see on vinovore

André Clouet André Clouet, No.3, Bouzy Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV $54 “Champagne is an obvious choice to enjoy on NYE! Immensely drinkable and very festive, it's a crowd pleaser and can be enjoyed day to night. I suggest staying away from big names since we’re currently facing a shortage, so this is a wonderful time to support ‘farmer fizz’ grower Champagnes.” — Paola Embry, Wine Director of Wrigley Mansion see on ACME fine wines

Adrien Renoir 2016 Adrien Renoir Les Epinettes Grand Cru Blanc De Noirs Champagne $113 “I drank enough Champagne this year to float a canoe, and one of the true standouts in this delicious adventure was Adrien Renoir's Les Epinettes Grand Cru. 100 percent pinot noir and so elegant, this is a true marvel of a bottle. Welcome the New Year with only the best.” — Ricardo Zarate, Director of Operations and sommelier at Valentina see on Kogod Wine Merchant

Belden Barns Estate 2019 Blanc de Noirs Sparkling $40 “This wine is crisp and refreshing with notes of citrus, pear, and dark cherry. This bottle is an absolute crowd pleaser — even non-wine lovers get excited about having a glass, and [it] makes the perfect way to toast to the new year!” — Nia Ruth , WSET Level 3 Certified Wine Expert see on belden barns

Roger Pouillon & Fils Pouillon, Rosé de Macération, Brut - NV $72.99 “Most folks won't think to toast with rosé on New Year’s Eve, but R. Pouillon's Premier Cru Rosé Champagne is worth breaking tradition for.” — Allie Balin , Food & Beverage Director at Deep Dive Hospitality / The Wildset Hotel and Ruse Restaurant see on astor wines

Bakari Confondo Cortese Pét-Nat NV $26.95 “A sparkling wine that we cannot stop reaching for this holiday season, a playful pet-nat of the northern Italian white grape Cortese from a fun new natural wine label called Bakari... Think Prosecco, but with a little bit more funk and playful character.” — Sam Bogue, Beverage Director for Flour+Water Hospitality Group 's restaurants see on primalwine
