Have never had this! I was out of town when this posted so just now watched it ... this sounds like a great poolside wine, it's on my shopping list! I was thinking prosecco with my pea flan - maybe just because I love prosecco? What do you think?

I've never had this before and really appreciate the reco - can't wait to try it! I love the idea of the little spritz in it. And, yes, I like pretty labels, too. :)
