  2. Looking for a spot to snag 'everyday' sparkling wines? So is Michael Alberty of OregonLive. In his quest, Alberty discovered some worthwhile local bubbles, including the 2020 Cooper Hill Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé, available at Sip D’Vine on Capitol Highway, and the 2019 Proletariat Wine Co. Sparkling Rosé, which you can find at Syndicate.
