Pictured above is a wonderfully sweet and sparkly asti that we enlisted to welcome in the new year. It's perfect for sitting on your floppy rented couch, watching an Italian film and kissing your best friend at midnight. It goes well with salmon mousse and Doritos and a blue veined cheddar that I don't particularly enjoy. It also has a bird on the label. Should you see it on the shelf in your local market I suggest you purchase it immediately and delight in it's fizzy joy.
Each and every time I use the word "joy" -- with zero exceptions -- I think of a photographer friend who prods couples & their entourage with strong suggestions of "more joy!" as he's shooting their wedding day portraits. It's quite effective and tends to garner good results from the highly stressed and deeply drunk individuals one works with on your average wedding day. Hey grumpy groom - more joy! Yoohoo, drunk uncle - more joy! You there, bridesmaid who really shouldn't have ever stuffed herself in a dress that shade of orange - more joy!
So with a nod to the aforementioned gentleman may I be the first to say, on behalf of those who truly need it and those who could simply use a better shade of orange... hey there, 2006 - more joy!
