Tiny Bubbles - Sparkling Wine

Candoni Prosecco Brut
Veneto, Italy - $12
This is a drier style and doesn't have the explosion of flavor of the Riondo. Both were sampled during the 2008 Raft-up with appetizers and the consensus was that the Riondo was a better bottle. 3/5

Riondo Prosecco
Veneto, Italy - $14
Favorite sparkler with light aromas. Green apples flavors and pleasant tartness, good acidity. Flavors burst through, a very unique prosecco. Good summer sipper or apertif. Heard it can be found in NYC for $8 bottle... 5/5

Piper Sonoma Brut
Sonoma County, California - $13
Initial fruitiness opens into apple and citrus flavors. Another 2008 Raft-up wine.

Riondo Rose Prosecco

Riondo Pink Prosecco Raboso
Veneto, Italy - $14
Soft pink color with light body, this sparkling wine starts off with berry aromas that lead to soft, delicate flavors of melon and berry. A well-balanced, dry and smooth wine that pairs well with grilled veggies and pasta salad. A lovely summer sparkler gets points for being different (pink) but still a basic prosecco. I still like the original Riondo prosecco much better with its strong note of green apple. 3.5/5

Mionetto Prosecco Brut
Veneto, Italy - $19
Nice & light. No yeasty heaviness. Crisp, fruit, citrus; a do again. Tasted at a Harry's Savoy wine event. 3/5
