Hens and Prosecco seems to go hand in hand with my girlfriends but then again so do late lunches and prosecco, nights out and prosecco and even of late, babysitting and prosecco so maybe it's just another excuse for me and the girls to crack open the bubbly! So 2 weeks ago, with a four hour train journey ahead of us, 26 hens and the bride-to-be could think of no better way to wile away the hours to Westport than by cracking open some fizz. Despite the stems falling off all our plastic champagne flutes leaving us with no other option but to drink up (too) quickly or lose it to the rocky train journey, I did hear on our return leg to Dublin the words " I would kill for a glass of that prosecco now..." been uttered and some murmurs of agreeance in response. The same can definitely not be said about the other beverages consumed over the weekend!!
Conti Neri Prosecco di Prosecco NV is a spumante (fully sparkling) made from the Prosecco grape in the Prosecco region. Producers in this region are in the process of legally changing the grape name so that only sparkling from the Prosecco DOC can be called Prosecco(similar to champagne laws).
Everyone loved the freshness and elegance of this wine. Generous flavours of apples and pears on the palate with loads of persistent bubbles. Some spiciness on the finish and definitely tastes like more... I feel great value for a spumante at €16.99.
I did have a great picture of us all on the train to Westport in all your typical hen paraphenalia but unfortunately as the saying goes "what goes on tour, stays on tour..."
Till next time
Clare
