On New Year’s Eve, just hours before we were to turn into pumpkins, Andy and I realized we had no sparkling grape juice in the house! After dinner I drew the short end of the stick and left to make an emergency run. This was the beautiful view that greeted me.

This made scouring the aisles of 3 different stores and then giving up in despair and almost leaving with 1 bottle of kosher sparkling grape juice and 1 bottle of sparkling apple cider only to find that someone had abandoned the last bottle of Welsh’s sparkling grape juice in the canned veggie aisle (!!) totally worth it.

    Katy-
    Oh? Then maybe we’ll give that a try next time.

    Aisha-
    LOL yes, exactly!

    Krista-
    I feel like we don’t get that much color here compared to Houston — maybe because not as much smog — so it was a nice surprise.

    I almost forgot the traditional sparkling cider as well.
    We found sparkling white grape juice at Target. It was Archer Farm. Not too bad. Happy New Year!
