Wine Find – TJ’s NV Prosecco

This is my ORIGINAL Tuesday Night Wine … a non-vintage Prosecco from Trader Joe’s ringing up at $6.99/bottle. I think it’s been that price for the 10 years we’ve been drinking it! It’s a versatile wine with enough body and acidity to hold up to hearty dishes, such as pork or steak, and is especially good with spicy Asian dishes. But also quite lovely with fish and seafood. I also use it in sangria. We buy it buy the case because we drink at least one bottle a week — it goes with so much that we eat. It’s also my standard house-warming or Happy Birthday gift :)

Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine. My experience is that it is a tad less fizzy than Champagne or domestic sparkling wines made in the méthode champenoise. It’s on the dry (not sweet) side, but if I have a guest that prefers a sweeter wine, I float a little creme de cassis or other sweet fruit liqueur in it.

If you have a Trader Joe’s that sells wine in your area — definitely give this a try.

Standard caveat: This is a personal recommendation. Trader Joe’s doesn’t know I exist and has provided neither product nor compensation for this endorsement. In fact, they’ll probably sue me if this ever gets in a search engine.
