Sometimes, however, you find yourself wondering if that lower cost means lower quality. I believe you can find inexpensive Prosecco that offers outstanding quality. The wine I’m highlighting today is one such wine. The […]

Review: FIOL Prosecco DOC Rosé
When the summer heat kicks into high gear, many wine lovers want to have lighter, chilled wines, like Prosecco.

Review: Domaine Bousquet, Méthode Traditionnelle Brut
I am a big fan of sparkling wine, bubbly, bubbles… whatever you prefer to call it. Just don’t call it Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region of France. Good bubbly is being produced in wine regions around the world. To me, sparkling wine is one of the most food friendly types of wine […]
Review: Domaine Bousquet Sparkling Rosé
It’s been several weeks since I’ve posted any wine reviews, because life happened. I recently had shoulder surgery, which left me with one working arm.

What would you say if I told you New Mexico is the source of some of the best sparkling wine in the US? Would you believe me? Would you think I’ve lost it? Well, here we are and that’s exactly what I’m saying. Gruet Winery The producer I’m talking about is Gruet (pronounced: groo-ay) and […]
Review: Domaine Bousquet Sparkling Rosé
I don’t know about you, but I love a good sparkling wine. It shouldn’t be something just for special occasions but something you can enjoy regularly. Some sparkling wines, like Champagne, are expensive and associated with luxury — giving people the false impression that sparkling wine has to be expensive. But there are some outstanding, […]
Review: Pasqua Romeo & Juliet Prosecco
The locals in Veneto, Italy, where Prosecco is produced, refer to Prosecco as, “Welcome wine.” I like that.

One of the things […]
