....and another thing, Moms love bubbly!

Prosecco is the name of a grape from Italy that is made into inexpensive bubbly wine that is not bone dry like French Champagne and not sweet like Asti Spumante. We carry 5 different Proseccos at 5 different price points, from $10.99 to $24.99 a bottle. The quality is in proportion to the price. Prosecco is the bubbly used to make Bellinis, the white peach nectar is poured into a flute first and the bubbly is poured in last. Now at Harry's Bar in Venice where they were invented, the Bellini is only made with fresh juice in season. Don't let that stop you from getting bottled nectar or you can have fun and use any other fruit juice you like. I tend to stay away from citrus though, the acid just doesn't work. Apple juice, pear is especially good and all the berry juices work great. Just remember to chill all the ingredients and the flutes.

And don't forget to toast your mother with some poetry YOU WROTE!
