Why I Love Prosecco

This photo was taken while enjoying my favorite kind of bubbly, Prosecco, at the high-rollin' Elbow Beach Resort in Bermuda during the Christmas holiday. It's a bit pretentious there, but fun none-the-less. And supposedly, pink-sands are a myth.

Prosecco (pronounced: Proh-zek-oh) is a white grape grown in the Veneto region of Italy and is also the name of the sparkling wine made from this grape.

Prosecco vineyards are located in the wine-growing regions north of Venice, namely, Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Prosecco grapes ripen late in the season and therefore are best used in dry sparkling (spumante) and semi-sparkling (frizzante) wines. I like frizzantes better as they finish longer, taste crispier, and are generally more complex than spumantes.

Like Champagne (sparkling white from the Champagne region of France), I dig Prosecco unadulterated and chilled--sometimes straight up in a rocks glass or all styled-out in a champagne flute. Prosecco is the original base of the Bellini cocktail, and it can replace champagne in other mixed sparkling cocktails such as the Mimosa. Sparkling wines work great in savory food preparation too. I often use some Prosecco in my raw-Caesar dressings (you'll have to enlist me for that recipe).

Anyway you spill it, I love this stuff 'cause I can get it organically-grown, by the case, and it's 1/3 the price of most champagnes. Prosecco goes well with everything and I like to serve it up to my peoples every chance I get.

Try some...

Maca Madness!

I've written songs about it. I talk about it all the time. I sneak it in to most every medicinal compound I prepare. You've heard me preach about it. So what exactly is Maca, and why is it so damn awesome?
