There are nice Spanish sparkling wines you could serve: Freixenet is a widely-distributed brand, and a couple cases of their Carta Nevada or even Cordon Negro won't break the bank.
IMHO Freixenet used to be good when they first popped on to the market, but then they put their money into advertising and increased the price of the wine; the quality isn't as good as it used to be.
I prefer the following; they're excellent values in sparklers: Segura Viudas, and Trocadero.
Hmmm. Sorry to hear that. I haven't tasted it in several to a few years and recommended it today as per Christopher's advise.

Also fine recommendations. Note that these are all inexpensive enough (unless you're in a state where wine is heavily taxed) that buying a bottle of each for a taste test would not be out of order.
