Sparkly wine is pure gold for romance

Drew and I started a wine course last night, and one of the first four wines we tasted was a winner for eye appeal:  Peter Brum’s Gold Sparkler is a sparkling wine with real gold leaf floating in it—24 carat!

If you want to score a home run with your Sweetheart, this beautiful wine would be quite a way to celebrate an evening.  At less than $20 a bottle, it also is quite a bargain.  And BTW, you drink the gold speckles along with the vino.  Wow.
