My husband taught me that one of the important parts of traveling is experiencing the cultures through taste buds. I learned very quickly to adjust our tight itineraries for frequent snack stops. We still talk about some memorable dishes, drinks, and places we visited years ago. We learned that often the best refreshments aren’t the most expensive ones.

Throughout many years of traveling the only destination I keep finding myself going back to, is Italy. I appreciate it for its culture, history, architecture, people, fashion, food, and WINE! I was sitting at dinner enjoying amazing pasta with wine, thinking about all my friends and family missing this. I found myself shipping bottles of different wines to later enjoy them with friends and neighbors. We laughed, cried, danced, gossiped, had wholehearted conversations, and then laughed some more. I created the best memories over Italian sparkling wine on many occasions. After a while, Italian bubbles became a staple of my gatherings and a warm reminder of meaningful friendships and fun.

I wanted to share this energy with everyone! I picked the best and my favorite wines in Italy. I went to see the vineyards and talked to the owners of the wineries. Everyone was so pretty, nice, clean, well-dressed and smelled good… It may have been the effects of wine tasting… but either way it was magical. I bottled up that magic for you to find under the Dancing Cougars label at your local stores. You are welcome.
