There’s nothing I enjoy better than dinner with friends on a Friday evening. Or a Wednesday. Or a Monday afternoon. Whatever. I enjoy getting together with friends. That’s all. And, after we have a steak or some lasagna, I really, really enjoy a little casual conversation and a delicate slice of Dessert Gluten-Free & Vegan Fruit Pizza with VOVETI Prosecco. So, after a burger this weekend, guess what I made? Oh, yes, a beautiful pie and a glass of delicious.
There’s nothing like the sweet tones of cookie, bright notes of strawberry and a little sip of prosecco to make the evening just feel–I don’t know…chill. Like this weekend, when an old friend swung through town and we had a little impromptu burger. But, even though it was a regular dinner-type-meal, nothing special, the fruit pizza…well, let’s just say we finished our bottle of prosecco and there wasn’t any fruit pizza left over.
Like I said, I love a great after-dinner slice with friends. LOL!
What really makes it, though is that high quality, lovely craft prosecco. Cracking-open a bottle just ups the enjoyment for me, making a great excuse to just sit around the table and prolong our evening (I hate for our fun with friends to end early). This last weekend is a great example. You know, my friend was looking like things might be kind of awkward–that moment when winding-down is happening too early for everyone. But I popped the top on our prosecco…
You know, VOVETI only produces 15, 000 cases annually, so this chic, modern Italian prosecco is a real treat. And, it embodies affordable luxury and classic style, while still working for a great after-dinner finisher when you’ve had a simple burger with friends.
