I’m back from that trip to the wine store (See “Fun in the Sun” below) to pick up the weekend prosecco. My go-to guy for wine is George Bardis, head of the wine department at Martignetti Liquors in Brighton. George has tasted and critiques a ton of wines and always gives me superb choices for anything and everything smack-dab in the middle of my price range. This time he steered me towards an Adami prosecco ($15.99/bottle), made by third-generation winemakers Armando and Franco Adami. This wine is generally considered one of the best prosecco coming from the Valdobbiadene and an official 1st cru of prosecco. “It’s bright, playful,” George said, “and full of fruit. As far as prosecco goes, it has great body and rivals champagne.”

Can’t wait to chill it and try it!
