I was intrigued by the offer to sample “house wine,” as in, your favorite wine that you stock in your home. Don’t confuse this term with “table wine,” which refers to modest quality. IL Prosecco and IL Moscato are tasty, everyday wines that are worth adding to your personal stock.
First of all, they won’t break your budget, as each bottle retails for $11. The wines are made by Mionetto, located just north of Venice. According to the winery’s website, the Mionetto family introduced autoclave fermentation in 1982 by switching to the Charmat method, which allows for better preservation of the flavors and aromas of Prosecco.
I can attest to that, as I detected pear and floral aromas (there’s also citrus) in the IL Prosecco (11% ABV). It’s dry but not too dry, and it holds a slight apple flavor. I thought the wine paired well with the salmon I had prepared for dinner.
Meanwhile, the IL Moscato (8% ABV) is a perfect, sweet companion on a beautiful day (if we can ever get one of those again in Madison). It’s got the right amount of fizz and has enjoyable notes of peach and apricot. I actually paired this wine with a ribeye, and to my pleasant surprise, it worked.
In addition to the IL collection, Mionetto offers a Luxury collection, a Prestige collection and an Avantgarde collection.
How could I not accept an opportunity to try a snack called 
I came to the realization that there aren’t many flavored kinds of peanut butter upon accepting an offer to try three varieties from B.Nutty. And after I tried them, I realized flavored peanut butter has been a missing element of my snacking life.
