Spring is almost here, so why not celebrate with a joyous sparkling rosé? And with Passover approaching on March 27, it's time to consider some kosher wines --- we have three.

Finally, as we're not all venturing out of our pandemic cloisters just yet, here's a fun Italian red to order online for your next pizza night.

Henri Champliau Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Rose

Three stars (Extraordinary)

Burgundy, France, $28

Here's an excellent bubbly to greet spring weather and the welcome return of robins and roses. Bright cherry, red currant and raspberry flavors cascade across your palate, carried by an elegant bead of bubbles. The addition of gamay, the red grape of Beaujolais, to the traditional pinot noir and chardonnay means this is no champagne copycat - it has a distinctive personality of its own. Alcohol by volume: 12 percent.

GREAT VALUE Guillermo de Mendoza Malbec Reserve 2018 Two and one-half stars (Excellent/Extraordinary) Mendoza, Argentina, $15 Spicy and fruity in the New World-style, this malbec impresses with tart cherry and blueberry flavors, followed by a hint of cigar box and earth. When I first pulled the cork, my initial impression was of green under-ripeness, but that disappeared within about 15 minutes. So best to open this a half-hour or so before dinner. Certified vegan. Kosher Mevushal. ABV: 13 percent.
