Cook's Sparkling Wine
California sparkling since 1859, priced for the second bottle.
The story behind Cook's
Isaac Cook founded Cook's in 1859, and it became the first American sparkling wine brand with a national following. The wine is made in Madera, California, in the San Joaquin Valley, using the Charmat method: secondary fermentation happens in large pressurized stainless steel tanks, not in individual bottles. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier do the work, and each lot is blended with older vintages for consistency.
Cook's is also one of the few American brands grandfathered into printing "Champagne" on the label under the 2005 U.S. France wine agreement, because it used the term long before the treaty. We have poured it in Commack for decades, and it still does the same job: cold, bubbly, and cheap enough to keep the brunch going.
