Seltzers have had everyone bubbling with excitement for a while now. Napa Valley wine brand Decoy is one of the newest arrivals to this ever-expanding festival of fizz.
I sampled four flavors of Decoy Premium Seltzers. They are unusual since their alcohol content comes from an infusion of wine while most hard seltzers on the market are made with brewed cane sugar or malted rice.
I have to say my favorite flavor is the rose with black cherry. You can drink these nice and cold, on the rocks, or straight out of the can. They are only 5.5% alcohol, so you can sip on an 8.4-ounce can and enjoy the refreshing taste. Cool off at a picnic or after working in the yard.
The rose bubbles are exhilarating. The maraschino cherry aromas are enticing. And the nice dry finish is pleasing. I had this drink with brie cheese toasts topped with a dried cherry. It was also a great companion with the Market District brand salsa.
Salsa and seltzer. Say that 10 times in a row.
I also liked the sauvignon blanc with lime seltzer paired with the Market District's chips and its delicious homemade guacamole. This one kind of reminds me of a gin and tonic. So if that’s one of your go-to drinks, you will love this seltzer.
