One of my course requirements this week is to taste a Prosecco. I had previously bought some very reasonably priced bottles at Costco so I thought I would rate one. I enjoyed the wine- it’s rather basic but fresh and light. We are ordering some spicy Thai dishes tonight, this has to be one of the best pairing options. At $ 7, it’s a steal that gets 88 points from me. Stock up and enjoy chilled in the summer- 5 star stuff. Salut….

Bought this for Moxie, she likes the bubbly stuff.  Good nose of apples and cider with generous bubbles that tickled on the way down.  Dry on the palate, it was not as sweet as I was imagining.  A decent length and ease of drinking made this quite an enjoyable aperitif.  Being NV (non-vintage) I imagine that the quality is pretty even throughout the years and this would be a good addition to a cellar to make sure you had a reasonable and decent sparkler on hand.  4 stars and 89 points in my books.
