Happy Champagne Thursday everyone!
Shane and I had a busy week, we had a wing night with our dear friends who have a glorious chalk board, and I've decided that I need one! I enjoyed doing some lettering for our party a few weeks back, and continued to enjoy it at Wing Night - I'm still an amateur, please don't judge me!
We have had this one before, but this particular bottle was given to us at our birthday party-wedding, by Dave and Cristin.
This bottle has a lovely tart aroma at first, which after it's been open for a bit turns to an earthy floral scent (we use the word "earthy" quite loosely, as we thought it was important to note that it doesn't have a fake flowery smell, like an air freshener - thank goodness - but a nice field flower kind of smell).
I noted that it had lots of small bubbles, where Shane noted that the "super tiny bubbles were plentiful"... if you say so...
Very fresh tasting, smooth on the tongue and easy drinking. It has a dry after taste, almost a tart-sweet... It's pretty light bodied and predictable. After a glass or two the flavour becomes a bit sour, in the good way that gets your saliva glands going.
We liked it.
Tyson liked the cork, as evidenced below:
See? He doesn't eat the cork, just chews it up and spits it out.
Verdict: Absolutely would get again, most of the bubbly's we drink are in this price point, and this is one we all can enjoy over and over again.

My mom was away, she was sorely missed!
On Sunday, we had a fun night with some friends from London who were passing through. It's always nice to catch up with old friends who you can just fall back into easy conversations with, even after having not seen them for a long time.
Onto Champagne Thursday though!
This week we celebrated with a lovely Prosecco from Italy: Bisol Desiderio's Jeio. (We used to call this the Jello Prosecco, because we couldn't determine if the JEIO was an "i" or a "1" or an "l"... oh my.)

Verdict: Absolutely would get again, most of the bubbly's we drink are in this price point, and this is one we all can enjoy over and over again.
- Brand: Bisol Desiderio
- Type of Grape: Not specifically listed, but research would indicate that the formally known "Prosecco Grape" is now known as the Glera grapes, and "Prosecco" wines may also include the Bianchetta Trevigiana grapes
- Sweetness: 15g/L
- Price: $16.95 (a good value for a nice Bubbly)
- Tasting Notes: Tart tasting, floral fragrance, easy drinking. Would pair well with almost anything (I'm thinking it would go especially well with a spicy grilled chicken salad!)
