What’s in a sparkling THERE are few Sparkling Wines that put names on their labels, so when you find one that matches your name, you are automatically going to want to taste it. These bottles can come from all over the world, for example, Jordan has come here from Austria, Claudia has traveled all the way from South Africa and Victoria is visiting from Slovenia. I remember enjoying a bottle of Victoria with a friend of the same name, it was a wonderful surprise to her and made the moment that much more memorable, it’s just like listening to a song with your name in it, like Jolene by Dolly Parton, Hey Jude by The Beatles and Oliver’s Army by Elvis Costello & The Attractions.
Victoria This 2010 Sparkling Wine is from the region of Podravje in Slovenia and was brought to us by the Vina Kauran winery. Victoria is a name known by many, especially in England, with a queen bearing the name with honour; it only makes sense when you find out what the name means. Coming from the Latin language,Victoria in Latin translates to Victory, and to add even more to this great name,Victoria was also the name of the Roman Goddess of Victory.
