Vino Spumante Rosato Brut – NV; Borgo Fulvia; Piacenza, Italy

This light and easy drinking Italian bubbly hits the spot quite well.  It presents appealing floral aromas on the initial pour, inviting a relaxed experience.  Notes of fresh grapefruit and some apples come out as you gaze at those fine bubbles. There is also just a hint of rose petals to add to the tasting experience. A fine Spumante to enjoy for sure.  Cin Cin!

Gratis White – 2019; Perissos Vineyard and Winery; Burnet, Texas

Sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA, this Rhone-style blend expresses primarily Viognier and displays a stunning deep golden hue after six years. The wine’s expressive floral character is immediately apparent, with notes of flowers and honeysuckle mingling back and forth with additions of peach, and some apricot. These elements come together to create an excellent white wine that reflects very well the meaning of the label. Cheers!
