The other night was spent chatting with a dear friend at a lovely local wine bar in el dorado hills, called
Wine Konnection. We lucked out by being the only ones in there. The ambience is perfect, the room is set up lounge-style with bar stools, sofas and tables. We were asked a series of questions and had wines recommended to us. I decided to do a sparkling white and ended up with a wonderful Italian Prosecco called: "Bele Casel Prosecco Montello E Colli Asolani Italy". It's not as dry as a champagne, and to my unrefined palette it tasted like a combination of hard cider and white grape juice.
My friend also ordered a white wine, hers was mildly sparkling, a really sweet dessert type wine called: "Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti".
They do 3 oz tastes, 6 oz glasses, or you can purchase the whole bottle. They have late night appetizers for $4, full dinners and amazing desserts for $5. We shared a dessert upon hearing the impressive culinary background of their pastry chef, Tara. We had the gelato sundae of the day which consisted of a toffee-apple crumble, gelato, butterscotch sauce, homemade whipped cream, white chocolate sauce and crunched up oatmeal raisin cookies. DELICIOUS.
It was a wonderful night, I can't wait to go back next time I'm home!
