"Being named in the Top 10 in the US by the prestigious Bureau du Champagne, USA, was not on their bingo card, but it happened. They were on a trip to Piemonte with their favorite somm when the news came that they'd made this year's list, which includes famous bubbles destinations like 13 Celsius in Houston; Apero in Washington, DC; Coqodaq in New York City; Coupes in Dallas; Fizz Walnut Creek in Walnut Creek; Jean-Georges Philadelphia in Philadelphia; Pops for Champagne in Chicago;"
"Winners stood out to us for their treatment of Champagne which comes only from Champagne, France as the singular sparkling wine it is, and took care to offer their guests a thoughtful range of styles, growing regions, houses, growers, cooperatives, vintage and non-vintage bottles, said Lori Russo, director of the Bureau du Champagne, USA. Russo praised the winning bars for their knowledgeable staff and their expertise in helping guests enjoy Champagne throughout an entire meal."
Tasting House Los Gatos, led by Denise and Mike Thornberry, became a destination for Champagne lovers and earned a Top 10 U.S. placement from the Bureau du Champagne, USA. The Top 10 list includes notable cities and bars across the country. The Bureau emphasized bars that treat Champagne as the unique product of Champagne, France, offering diverse styles, regions, producers, and vintages, and that employ knowledgeable staff to guide Champagne through meals. On the Central Coast, The Mountain Winery in Saratoga reinstated estate-grown sparkling wines under viticulturist Prudy Foxx with vintner Nicolas Vonderheyden’s assistance. The winery now offers tastings Friday–Sunday noon–5 p.m. alongside ongoing concert tributes.
