August 2015 - Prosecco, Pizza and more...

9/3/2015

     Society members gathered Sunday, August 23, to taste and learn about the Italian wine Prosecco in an informal, very social event. Members were greeted with a Bellini cocktail made from fresh, homemade peach nectar. Tony Pennella, event co-chairman (below), then welcomed      everyone and gave an introduction to Prosecco, where it is located in Italy, and DOC and DOCG differences.
 Using 2 flights of wine, members got to experience and compare DOC and DOCG Proseccos. These were accompanied by stuffed mushrooms, crostini, 3 types of flatbread, prosciutto-wrapped melon and arugula salad, and of course, discussions and a lot of socializing!

     Fat Olives' Chef Chris prepared the flatbreads on site. They were terrific! And for dessert – WOW! Marie Pennella provided her homemade biscotti. What a treat!

     The group’s favorite wine? By consensus – the La Marca Extra Dry Prosecco, a DOC wine, followed by the only vintage Prosecco, the 2012 Bisol Crede Valdobbiadene. Members were presented with a surprise mystery wine and then asked at the end of the event if they could guess which one it was. I believe everyone was equally surprised to learn it was a Costco Kirkland-brand DOCG.

     Comments were very complimentary regarding the casual atmosphere and member interaction. Tony and his event co-chairman, Ted Davis, put together a great event. Special thanks to Fat Olives owner, JD Nolan, and Chef Chris for the great flatbread and other treats, and to Marie for the great biscotti.
