For Christmas one of my clients gifted me with a bottle of wine. I'm hardly alone on that count, but not popping the cork till a few minutes ago, I'm probably a rarity.
While I've known for years about Martini wines, I had never indulged in a bottle, due partly to the fact that I'm not a big drinker. My idea of wine is opening the odd bottle of Inniskillin Baco Noir or Pino Noir. Now I'll partake in a Martini Asti Sparkling. Product of Italy.
Since I got a fair bit of work done today, I figured it was time to treat myself.
POP!!!
What a noise! I almost jumped. But I did laugh out loud at the mini explosion in my kitchen.
A sip. It's good! A sweet taste. That was a bit of a surprise, but a pleasant one.
My uneducated guess says it'll go nicely tonight with a movie....
Postscript: My old friend Stéphane told me a story years ago about opening and ultimately devouring an entire bottle the night before while watching That Hamilton Woman. My palette and liver both won't accept a full bottle, however a "large goblet" will work. Oh!... Monty Python and the Holy Grail will make a fun drinking partner!
