• Bisol Jeio Prosecco is a lightly sparkling wine that pairs beautifully with Asian fare, shrimp or lobster, brunch and picnic foods.  Its fresh aroma is focused on citrus, lemon and lime, with a white pear and green apple flavor. 

• De Bortoli Emeri Pink Moscato is one of the most exciting sparkling roses available.  Selected druits from vines treated to generous canopies allow the natural fruit ripening.  It is picked and gently pressed before cold fermentation which allows it to retain its fresh and vital fruit characters.  It is perfect as a cocktail or with food, especially foods with sweetness and spicy heat, or with an assortment of small sandwiches.

This is sure to be a special evening!
