TIP OF THE DAY: Drink Your Dessert
Some of the most refreshing desserts are the simplest. Put fresh fruit salad in a wine goblet and cover it with a fizzy Moscato d’Asti, a sweet sparkling wine from Italy (our favorite is La Spinetta from Rivetti, with an amazingly low alcohol level of around 6%, similar to beer). The sparkling wine elevates the fruit salad to elegance, and is the perfect ending to a light or heavy dinner. After guests finish the fruit, they can drink the remaining wine from the goblet: It’s a dessert and a dessert wine in one (though have an extra bottle on hand for guests who want more of this intensely fruity, exuberant wine). If you don’t drink alcohol, you can use Fizzy Lizzy Fuji Apple sparkling juice.
