Looking for a effervescent bubbly to kick-start your
Thanksgiving festivities? Well you'll find it in this lovely Italian
Prosecco by Collalbrigo.
With its straw color, delicate bubbles, and apple-pear aroma, it's a refreshingly easy sipper.

To save money on drinks at
Thanksgiving, ask guests to bring a bottle of red or white wine. Head to
Trader Joe's, they have a wonderful assortment of affordable wines, and purchase a couple of bottles to add to the collection. Instead of offering bottled water, fill pitchers with ice and tap water.

There are only 24 days until the biggest food holiday of the year,
Thanksgiving. Here are five items that will make your month fuss-free and delicious.

If you are looking for a refreshing, celebratory sparkling wine that won't break the bank, I highly recommend
Fantinel Prosecco ($12.99). Uncomplicated and light, this Prosecco makes an excellent aperitif or a delightful
bellini.
It has a pale straw color, a subtle touch of sweetness, and a citrus floral aroma.

Apparently today, August 4th is Champagne day. Personally I love to drink Champagne every day of the year, but in honor of this supposed holiday, I've put together a quiz about the bubbly wine. Test your knowledge now and pop open a bottle later!

During the Summer's peach season, I love to enjoy bellinis. Similar to a mimosa, a bellini is Prosecco diluted with fresh white-peach puree. When made with perfectly ripe peaches, this glamorous cocktail is slightly sweet and delicately bubbly.

At the
Aspen Classic, PartySugar and I came across
Inniskillin, an
ice wine maker from Canada. Their
Sparkling Ice Wine was unbelievably delicious and a true dessert wine treat. Although it has a rather high price point, around $70 for a 375ml bottle, ice wines cost more than regular dessert wines because they're produced from grapes that have been frozen on the vine.

To me, Summer months are meant for bubbly. After a warm day, it's relaxing to have a glass of something cool, chilled, and sparkling. Usually I reach for an inexpensive Prosecco or sparkling rosé, but recently I tried something a little more unusual.

Recently I had the chance to taste
Barefoot's new
Bubbly Chardonnay. Like a classic Chardonnay, it has a fresh fruit aroma, citrus apple flavor, and golden straw color. The body is refreshing and buoyant and the finish is crisp and light.
