Carpene Malvoti Prosecco – Prosecco di Conegliano, Italy Becky Sue Epstein June 13, 2010 Tasting Notes The familiar honey-honeysuckle nose of prosecco, then a touch of fruit in the flavor with a nice balance of acidity. This is a very sturdy prosecco with a medium body, not light yet pleasing, finishing with a hint of raspberry.
2007 Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria DOC Becky Sue Epstein February 28, 2010 Tasting Notes When people who don't love sweet wines ask for more, you know this is a particularly great vintage – and I’ve had this wine several times before. A floral hint wafts up at first. Early sips are orange, apricot and raisin, deepening to raisin and fig as it opens in the glass. Acidity and sugars are beautifully balanced. The apricot finish is just long enough.
