BUBBLES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Reader Lisa (yes of Lucky Baldwin’s fame) loves Christmas the pride of Sierra Madre dresses her house up like 
no other in his neighborhood asked my opinion on a decent Prosecco, I hope I come through for this holiday 
loving neighbor.

I have found a light and refreshing wine with enough bubbles to enjoy and flavor that even a splash of orange 
juice won’t kill. Ruffino Prosecco has been produced from grapes grown in the hilly area of Valdobbiadene, 
which is the most historically vocated region for the production of Prosecco. Bright straw yellow with fine 
bubbles, the bouquet is fragrant and intensely fruity. It shows clean notes of apples, pears and citrus. I found it 
crisp, clean and yet delicate - a perfect wine for a toast at a celebration. Intense sensations of apples and peaches 
drive a pleasant aftertaste that is reminiscent of fruity and floral aromas.

 

Ideal as an aperitif; it is very versatile as a food companion. What to pair it with? Ruffino Prosecco matches 
well with fish and shellfish dishes as well as white meat dishes. I enjoyed this sparkler just this past weekend 
with a thin crust BBQ Chicken pizza. Others in this category would include Sofia Sparkling Wine (cans) and 
the previously written about Domain Carneros($29). I do recommend the Ruffino Prosecco for the toast and 
depending on the wedding or celebration menu at around $16( Vons Pasadena) you can’t go wrong. Again a 
touch of OJ or a sweet strawberry added and I won’t call party foul. Enjoy!!

ALL THINGS By Jeff Brown

FINDING A MATE

Finding a mate involves a mix of personal preference, social dynamics, and compatibility. Here are ten strategies 
that might help:

Know Yourself: Understanding your own values, interests, and what you seek in a partner is crucial. This self-
awareness helps you narrow down potential matches. Use your imagination to visualize and write down your 
perfect mates attributes.

Expand Your Social Circle: Engage in activities, groups, or hobbies aligned with your interests. This expands 
your social network, increasing the chances of meeting someone compatible.

Online Dating Platforms: Utilize dating apps or websites tailored to your preferences. They provide access to 
a larger pool of potential mates and allow filtering based on specific criteria.

Attend Events and Gatherings: Participate in social events, parties, or networking functions. These settings 
facilitate natural conversations and connections.

Mutual Connections: Lean on friends, family, or acquaintances for introductions. Mutual connections often 
provide a sense of trust and common ground.

Volunteer or Join Communities: Engage in volunteer work or join community groups. Sharing a common 
cause or interest can help foster connections.

Be Open-Minded: Don’t limit yourself to a specific type. Be open to meeting people who might not fit your 
usual criteria but could still be a great match.

Communication Skills: Work on your communication skills, both in-person and online. Being able to express 
yourself clearly and actively listen is essential for building a connection.

Personal Growth: Focus on personal development and self-improvement. Confidence and a strong sense of self 
can be attractive qualities.

Patience and Persistence: Finding a compatible mate often takes time. Stay patient, keep an open mind, and 
persist in your efforts without becoming disheartened by setbacks.

Remember, each person's journey to finding a mate is unique. These strategies can serve as a guide, but the 
most important aspect is being genuine and true to yourself while being open to new experiences and connections.
Be Brave!!!
