As I sit writing this, I'm sipping on a glass of La Marca Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene. What started as a grim and rainy week has finally ended in a surprisingly warm and sunny afternoon. I've heard not a word from my husband although it's well after work hours - I'm hoping he had the good sense to go the pub with some workmates to unwind and enjoy the sunshine. Left at home on my own with a cold bottle of prosecco that some friends gave us (thank you!) and some blogging to catch up on, opening the bottle seemed like the right thing to do.
The prosecco is incredibly refreshing, as well. Fresh green apple aroma, loads of tiny little bubbles bursting to the top of my glass, and a clean, fresh, grapefruit-y flavour. It just rounds out my week, and reminds me that I should drink more prosecco.
But the actual reason why I am blogging today is to report on the champagne we drank on Wednesday, a bottle of the Maison Lenique 2004 grand cru blanc de blancs that I got as part of my 3-D Wines allocation. It was my husband's birthday, and after a relaxing afternoon out with some friends, we came home to his traditional homemade apple pie and champagne celebration. The Maison Lenique was fantastic as usual, and had more apple and butter flavours than the 2005 we recently drank. My husband was pleased to have a tried and trusted bottle of bubbles to go with his favourite dessert.
Cheers to him for giving me two reasons to have bubbles this week!
