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!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

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

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!
