Have a little “Sex” tonight

Clarksville, TN – It is almost New Years Eve, and Sparkling Wine is a “must have” for New Years Eve! Fifth City Wine & Spirits has two Sparkling Wines for you to try – “Sex” and “Fizz”.

“Sex” is a Brut Rose Sparkling Wine with a pink salmon hue, red fruit aromas, and a delectable, soft style.

“Fizz” is a Demi Sec Sparkling Wine with fine bubbles, ripe fruit aromas, soft sweet flavors, and a lingering, fine finish.

Both “Sex” and “Fizz” are a provocative blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that are hand-picked and whole cluster pressed.
