Wine Review: Rescue Dog Sparkling Wines

We recently tasted sparkling wines from Rescue Dog Wines, an innovative winery that blends quality vintages with a mission of helping to rescue dogs in need. The first thing you notice about the wines are the labels, which are at the same time cute, stylish, eye-catching, and quite artistic. Of course they feature portraits of our favorite pets!

It’s already well known that the staff of TasteTV have a soft spot for both dogs and cats, and produces the annual World Dog Surfing Championships that helps promote dog charities.

Rescue Dog Wines was started by Blair and Laura Lott, both of whom are dedicated to animal rescue. After realizing how much of a difference they could make in the lives of dogs in need, they decided to create a company that would allow them to financially contribute to the cause. Rescue Dog Wines was born and has since become a popular wine brand that also helps to fund animal rescues. 50% of the profits from the wine is donated to animal non-profits.

The company offers a variety of award-winning wines crafted with care and having a unique flavor profile that is sure to please  most everyday oenophiles. The sparkling wines are created using grapes from some of the best vineyards in California, and offer a range of styles, mostly focused on crisp or dry palates, including the Méthode Champenoise Demi-Sec, the Méthode Champenoise Sparkling Rosé, and the 2019 Lisel Blanc de Blancs Brut Méthode Champenoise.

The Rosé in particular is one we recommend that you try — it earned a Silver Medal at the California State Fair — if only to have had the experience and be able to say, “Yes, I liked it.”

Regardless of your selection, you can be confident that each bottle of Rescue Dog Wines contains smartly cultivated and selected ingredients, and is crafted with the utmost care. In addition, because of their support of local animal rescues, this means that you can enjoy a glass of wine knowing that you are helping to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.

It’s always good to know that when you are enjoying your wine, you are contributing to a great cause with every sip. We always love knowing that we are helping to make a difference.
