Julio's had a huge display for this $11 Prosecco which got 90 points from Robert Parker Jr and also was featured in the NY Times. Clearly this sparking wine from Italy needs more prestigious press, so I'm here to help it out. Me and Mrs. Vino crack it open for New Year's Eve. Mrs. Vino immediately announces that she likes it, which is a strong statement because she's not a big fan of sparkling wine. This wine has a great bouquet and I find it a refreshing match for our Chinese take out. At $10 - $11 this is a great inexpensive alternative to most champagnes. Gary V says it is great if you have a big group and need something to toast with. Everyone will enjoy it and you'll save yourself some bucks. (Wiki tells me that Prosecco's secondary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, while for champagne that fermentation occurs in the bottle -requiring more manual labor.) Happy New Year all! Sorry I'm a bit tardy with this advice. You'll know for next near and your next big toast!
