Sip & Stream: Oscar Best Documentary - Features Nominees + El Bajio Sparkling Rosé from Mexico
I love catching up on all the Oscar nominations, and if you are feeling like the best pictures noms are not living up to the hype, try streaming the contenders for Best Documentary - Feature.
To Kill A Tiger (currently not streaming)
Bobi Wine: The People’s President (Hulu/Disney+)
20 Days in Mariupol (Prime Video)
The Eternal Memory (Paramount+)
Four Daughters (Prime Video)
I just tried this wine last night at a tasting and I was blown away. This was a full-bodied wine masquerading as a sparkling rosé. El Bajio from Balle de Vernal is a clear and bright pink cherry blossom color. The nose has intense fruity notes of currant, strawberry, blueberry, and cherry. This sparkling wine is dry and graceful on the palate, with an elegant texture and a subtle red fruit notes on the finish.
Happy Streaming! 📺 🍷
