The J. Bookwalter Wine Word of the Week – Mousse
The “Mousse” is the French term for the froth or foam on top of a glass of sparkling wine, but it also describes the texture of the bubbles on your tongue. A high-quality Champagne often has a “creamy mousse,” which acts as a beautiful pillow for those salty, crunchy fries.
