I didn't cook my black eyed peas yesterday... we ate leftovers
instead. I should go to my butcher and get one of his wonderful ham
hocks to cook with them.

I looked at Prosecco when I was buying champagne, but it's sweet isn't
it? I didn't have the nerve to give it a try, because I don't like
sweet sparkling wines - like Asti. Maybe I'll try it before
Valentine's Day.

Not all prosecco is sweet, some are more dry. "moscato" types tends to
be the sweeter ones.

Thanks! I thought Asti was made from moscato. Which prosecco would
you recommend as the drier type? I had no idea what I was looking
at... and I didn't see a designation, like "brute".

I sometimes see "brut" listed on the bottle, but not always. I found a
deliciously-balanced prosecco to be Riondo Gato Nero. Just a touch
sweet, wonderfully rounded flavors (God, I sound like a wine critic).
Can be had on sale for maybe $11-12.

Hope you find something you like,
Kris

Guess I need to do some "research". LOL! I can do that.

(a) Asti is made from bricks, wood and mortar, mostly. It's a village ...
(b) If you see "brute" on a bottle of Champagne or Prosecco, you've been
had.

Otherwise, google for "Prosecco brut". I don't know what is available in the
USA.

The Proseccos I drink are dry.
