Domestic bubbly, Roederer Estate, Gloria Ferrer, Schramsberg.

Champagne, Roederer, Mumms, Taittinger, Perrier Jouet.

Wife loves Vueve Cliquot.

We've tried a bunch of smaller producers but they would probably be hard to find.

...domestic - Roederer Estate.

...French - Vueve Cliquot for the money.

Last year Coppola's Sophia Rose was a favorite by the pool - have to taste some current ones to find this summer's.

  Is the Coppola's Sophia Rose a dry sparkling wine?

    ...but rose in the French fashion - fairly dry with residual fruit.
    
    But it varies from year to year.
  - There is some residual sugar. Coppola calls it "off dry." * - Enophile 12:20:53 05/06/13 (0)

  As I've stated in the past.
  
  I did have a couple of glasses of his "claret" at a party recently. Not bad, bud nothing to get excited about.
  
  Which of my suggestions did you find lacking?
  - Agreed... - mkuller 11:00:50 05/17/13 (0)
    ...mostly overpriced red jug wine IMO.
    
    The Sophia in a good year from Costco is the exception.
