Suddenly it’s not hot any more. This better not be the end of our warm days, but I’m happy to be done with the humidity. Outside all day and not sweating calls for a glass of wine and I have just the bottles, in all Lockdown price ranges. Values Riondo Prosecco: The lighter side of Prosecco … Continue reading
If we were just going by the wines they produce, obv SF would take this hands down. (Though Kansas does have 52 wineries, FYI.)
