I have a treat for you this month: bubbles from the great state of New Mexico from a family of French immigrants who know Champagne, the Gruet Brut NV.  Available for a bit over $15 per bottle, the Greut Brut comes from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown exclusively in vineyards near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico at the surprising altitude of 4,300 feet above sea level.  Not only is the Gruet Brut a significant bargain, but Wine Spectator awarded the sparkler a stellar 89 rating and a Best Buy designation.
