Discover the Magic of Traditional Sparkling Wines at Aroma Thyme Bistro!

There’s something undeniably special about Champagne—it’s the wine that epitomizes elegance, sophistication, and celebration. What sets Champagne apart from other sparkling wines is the méthode champenoise, or traditional method, where all the magic—the bubbles—is created right inside the bottle.

Unlike many other sparkling wines where the bubbles form in large tanks, the traditional method results in finer bubbles, a richer texture, and a truly unforgettable drinking experience.

Of course, we’re proud to offer Champagne on our menu at Aroma Thyme Bistro. But we’ve also taken it a step further, scouring the globe to bring you traditional sparkling wines from other regions, including New York, Mexico, Slovenia, and Italy.

Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to one of our latest finds: Villa Sparina’s Brut Metodo Classico Blanc de Blancs from Piedmont, Italy. While Villa Sparina is well-known for their iconic Gavi, we simply couldn’t resist adding their sparkling Brut to our selection—and trust us, you’re in for something special. 🍾

Crafted from the Cortese grape, this sparkling wine is a true expression of the region's unique terroir. After spending a minimum of 42 months in contact with the lees, Villa Sparina’s Brut Metodo Classico emerges as a beautifully full-bodied and intense sparkling wine, perfectly balanced between acidity and minerality. Its fine perlage, refreshing crispness, and long, lingering finish will leave you absolutely enchanted.

At Aroma Thyme, we’ve personally visited over 300 wineries in 6 countries to curate one of the best and most diverse wine lists in the Hudson Valley. It’s not just about quantity, but about quality—and the stories and friendships we’ve built along the way. Each bottle we bring to your table represents a journey, a vineyard, and a shared love for the craft of winemaking.

And here’s some exciting news: you can visit Villa Sparina with us in the Fall of 2025! We’re hosting an exclusive wine and travel experience, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore Villa Sparina’s beautiful winery and wine resort, taste their exquisite sparkling wines right at the source, and delve into the world of traditional method wines alongside us.

Until then, come join us at Aroma Thyme Bistro to raise a glass of Villa Sparina’s Brut Metodo Classico and toast to the magic of sparkling wines. Cheers! 🥂
