It’s almost New Year’s … time is on the brain today … time to toast the past and welcome the future, while in the ever-fleeting present.

Wear your best. Do your best. Bring out the best, naturally.

After scouring Organic Wine Journal, here are a few organic libations of the bubbly celebratory sort that we’re considering trying:

• Entertaining on a budget? These could be real crowd pleasers, given their reasonable price tags: organic Spanish Cavas, Italian Proseccos and Californian sparkling wines:

Certified Organic Prosecco Mionetto
fruity, not too sweet and crisp, goes well with food; $12-15/bottle.

Prosecco Riva Moretta – Perlage 2008
clean, crisp, lively and organic; $17.

Tarantas Cava 2008
gorgeous bubbles and low alcohol, a perfect aperitif; made with organically grown grapes; $14 at Whole Foods.

• For the classically inclined, a couple of organic champagnes:

Domaine Cameros Brut Cuvee 2005
French Champagne made from organically gown grapes. Varietal blend:  64% pinot noir, 34% chardonnay and 2% pinot blanc, ($26); widely available.

Champagne Carte d’Or Brut – Serge Faust

The Real Thing! A dry, full-bodied brut from Champagne. Rich, full aromas, creamy texture and mature fruit flavors. Hints of yeast and nuts. Aged for three years to give this wine a rich, full aromas, creamy texture and mature fruit flavors. Made more complex by hints of yeast and nuts. This dry, full- bodied style of Champagne from mostly dark grapes is an excellent wine for hearty appetizers or a full dinner.
