Schramsberg's success with high-quality sparkling wine was undeniable, and no doubt helped to fuel the expansion of the category that would take place over the next 20 years." "'I think they've really made it more practical for some of these new producers to exist and to do the work', says Schramsberg CEO Hugh...
