My friend Lola loves Prosecco, Italy’s version of sparkling wine, and she brought a bottle last time she came over for dinner an eternity ago. I liked it too, it was light and airy and fresh, so some time later I picked up a few bottles of disgustingly cheap Prosecco at Trader Joe’s. I’ve had this one in my refrigerator for several months – and it came in handy today when I realized I had no white wine for the chicken recipe I was making for dinner.
The recipe only asked for 1 1/2 cups, so we had the rest with dinner. I was very pleased. It was simple and easy to drink, subtly peachy, perhaps a bit sweeter than other bruts. Very tasty, and it would have been even more so if it was a little bit cooler – I’d left the bottle on the counter after I opened it for cooking. I’ll definitely get some more bottles, next time just for drinking.
