Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Wine samples were provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links Let me start with this: I have always adored Italian bubbles. So, when Nicole of Somm's Table put out that the Consorzio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG was offering sample bottles to participate in a recipe contest, Certo! was my immediate answer. Not long after, I received a bottle of Le Contesse Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry and began considering a pairing...or two.
