Improbabilities.

Who would have guessed it? Spain has won their first-ever World Cup title. Celebrations are still taking place throughout España, and around the globe, wherever Spainards congregate. No doubt the Cava is flowing...

...but who's Cava should be flowing? As you may have guessed, we have our own thoughts on that.

Allow us to introduce you to Bodegas U Mes U Fan Tres, a wonderful winery located within the Cava D.O. in Spain. Here they make an eponymously named sparkling wine that's a refreshing blend of 45% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada and 25% Macabeo. Completely estate-grown and hand-harvested, the wine undergoes a second fermentation commenced in bottle, which takes three months at 57 degrees F to complete. The wine is aged in the bottle for at least 16 months before disgorging and is disgorged several times per year, so length of time on yeast varies. All bottles are marked with a disgorgement date on the back label.

The wine is an embodiment of all that is good about Cava: fresh, invigorating and just plain fun to drink. Praised by Robert Parker as a "solid value", and named by Steven Tanzer as one of the top Cavas in the market, U Mes U Fan Tres Cava is imported by our friends at Grapes of Spain, the most-exciting portfolio of Spanish wines in the U.S. today.

This wine is the perfect match for all manner of Summertime fare, and a great way to celebrate a national victory. As for the name, U Mes U Fan Tres? It's Spanish for 'one plus one equals three'. Something as improbable as, say, most people thought Spain's chances were of winning the World Cup.
