My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Wine of the Week - Colli Trevigliani Prosecco Secchetto -

This Proseccho is a terrific, affordable alternative to the champagne I picked earlier this week, though an extremely different flavour profile. You'll find none of the warm, toasty, baked apple flavours of the Bollinger here. Instead, it's full of crisp, green granny smith freshness, which is just perfect for spring. About $20 at Liberty Wines.

I've been enjoying this a lot lately at FigMint www.figmintrestaurant.com where they have a wine list that's been picked with obvious care, knowledge, and attention to pricing. Manager, Jason Maher, used to be a wine rep, so if you're looking for suggestions you'll be in capable hands. $9 glass, $39 bottle.
