When snot-nosed 8-year-old Kevin McAllister acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (at a time when things like this were de rigueur) makes him sleep in the attic. After his family mistakenly leaves for the airport without him, Kevin, much to his delight, awakens to an empty house. He begins to explore what life is like without having to answer to anyone. He famously call out to no-one, “Guys, I’m eating junk food and watching rubbish, you better come down and stop me!” And if Kevin was an 8-year-old wine drinker, there’s not much more indulgent than opening a bottle of bubbly for one. And if we were summoned for a recommendation, this 100% Pinot Noir bubbly from Meinklang would be a no-brainer. Lightly sparkling with just a touch of sweetness makes it the perfect accompaniment to a mountain of cheese pizza.  Or candy canes.  Or general mayhem.
