Pleasant Surprise



A little sparkling wine and sweet strawberries were a wonderful treat yesterday after a busy busy couple of days. I'm always sampling new wines and came across a recommendation online for Ballatore Gran Spumante. At only $6.99, it was too cheap to not try. I was very pleasantly surprised! It's sweet, smooth, and fruity. For the price, it can't be beat. The packaging makes it look more expensive than it is. My ONLY critique is the wine is a touch too sweet.

I will always keep a few bottles of this on hand, as this will be my staple for small gatherings (unless the occasion calls for something a bit more high-end). Check out the reviews on

Hello. Just found your blog. Loved it. I see that you like quiches. Me too! Do you know you can make a lot of different quiches with courgettes or salmon or mushrooms. I can give you recipes if you want. I have a blog for French students who prepare the CAPES which is THE exam you have to pass if you want to teach English in France. You can come and visit my blog if you want or visit my crafts blog at http://grenierdesophie.canalblog.com where you will find some creations and French recipes too. XO
