The Italians have it right: sparkling wine that comes from a tap. There's nothing like a little bubbly-on-the-go. As the New Year (and Phat Tony's Birthday) approaches we reflect on one of our favorite drinks, prosecco. What is prosecco you ask? Quite simply, it's Italian Champagne. Champagne being sparkling wine grown in the Champagne region of France and made using the "Methode Champenoise." Specifically, prosecco originates from grapes grown in the Veneto region of Italy, and was the original ingredient in the famous Bellini cocktails. We love it because it's tasty. We prefer drier sparkling wines and prosecco fits the bill perfectly and accompanies a wide range of our favorite foods such as Pane Frattau and Crostini. Another feature of this particular drink is its affordability. We have yet to taste a bottle we didn't like and most often a good bottle comes in the $9-16 range. Drink up friends, party like it's 1999, and enjoy the New Year.
