At The Sober Curator, we understand the importance of finding joy in every hour and celebrating life’s moments big and small. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce you to our latest alcohol-free review: the Verjus Sparkler by Kally.
Housed in a sleek 750ml bottle, the Verjus Sparkler is a non-alcoholic delight that brings fresh, tart, and bright flavors to your palate. This sparkling drink is a wonderful alternative to traditional wine, featuring microbubbles that combine effortlessly with California chardonnay verjus, resulting in a lively, effervescent beverage.
The star of this Sparkler, the chardonnay grapes, were handpicked from Kally’s 2023 harvest in California. Despite a longer and cooler season that led to a delayed harvest, the wait was well worth it. By early August, they had gathered grapes with the perfect harmony of acids and sugars. The resultant vibrant acidity makes this year’s offering one of their finest verjus creations yet.
The Verjus Sparkler encapsulates all the greatness of chardonnay grapes: robust acidity, bold minerality, and complex astringency. The addition of carbonation serves to elevate these characteristics, bringing the grape to the forefront in the glass.
This versatile beverage pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Whether accompanying wonton soup, grilled cheese, burrata & tomatoes, fish tacos, or Calimyrna figs, Verjus Sparkler enhances your culinary experience. And the best part? There’s no alcohol, no added sugars, and no strange additives. A 5oz serving contains just 23 calories and 4g of sugar.
Before Kally came into existence, Katie (CEO + Founder) was simply on a quest to drink less and enjoy more. That’s where the journey into wine alternatives began after a conversation with a bartender friend introduced her to the enchanting world of verjus. It was an instant love affair.
Each Kally recipe is a unique medley of surprising and familiar flavors, crafted using only the finest ingredients. They take great care in ensuring the quality of every element. Each bottle is a testament to their meticulous attention to detail and their love for crafting beverages that bring people together.
In essence, Verjus Sparkler is a love letter to California and a toast to togetherness. It embodies Kally’s vision of connecting people, one glass at a time, and celebrating life’s moments, both big and small. Enjoy the celebration of every hour, alcohol-free.
