A taste of Italy includes a sip of bubbly at Prosecco

"Here at Prosecco," our waiter intoned, "we like to begin the meal with a complimentary taste of our sparkling wine." And so he poured a little prosecco into our glasses. Just an ounce or so, really, but it was lunch — pours are a bit more robust in the evening, I've found — and the barest sip of alcohol was all our work schedule would accommodate.
