We are toasting March with a favorite from Italy, Bisson Glera Vino Frizzante Trevigiani<\/a> Imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant.<\/a><\/p>\n

The last time we told you about his wine was back on March 1, 2012<\/a>, but we've shared this favorite with favorite people many times since then.<\/p>\n

About Bisson Glera Vino Frizzante Trevigiani<\/strong><\/p>\n

This delightful, bone dry sparkler checks so many of our favorite aspects. It is light and lively with good fruit balance. It's 11% Alcohol by Volume, so we can sometimes enjoy a second glass.<\/p>\n

It's a great value. As one critic said, "Small, delicate bubbles, elegant and balanced, this lovely fizz from Italy cannot be labeled prosecco because it\u2019s got a flip-top cap. Fine. Who cares? It\u2019s the best on the market and it\u2019s under $20."<\/p>\n

If you plan to pop a bottle of this beauty with us, reach for your favorite bottle opener because it has a \u201cSpark Cap\u201d also know as a Crown Cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second old friend featured this month is Neal Rosenthal. He is one of our favorite and most dependable importers of wine. We have been following his work and learning from his writing for years.<\/p>\n

Penny had the opportunity to meet him when his book, "<\/a>Reflections of a Wine Merchant: On a Lifetime in the Vineyards and Cellars of France and Italy,"<\/a> <\/span>was published and found him as charming as his wines.<\/p>\n

When a friend asked for a way to deal with wine lists when she was entertaining clients, we suggested she ask, "Do you have anything imported by Rosenthal?"<\/p>\n

If you have ever seen the Mondovino<\/a> series on wine, you may agree with us that Neal Rosenthal is the hero of the world of wine as explored in that documentary.<\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes, and produced by different methods adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007 we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month! This year we've decided to revisit a lot of old friends \u2013 wines that are usually in our wine rack, that we often order when we dine out, and that we choose for special occasions.<\/p>\n
