It is the best explanation of the natural forces impacting retirement that I have ever seen in one source."

"The primary takeaway is that traditional retirement accounts, which have been recommended for years by virtually all financial advisors, can be a trap from which it is difficult to escape.""

WHAT DO RATING SCORES TELL YOU ABOUT HOW MUCH TO PAY . . . ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

We looked at 60 wines from Tuscany rated by Wine Enthusiast. You could pay $15 to $60 for wines rated 89. You could pay $11 to $80 for wines rated 90. Or you could pay $20 to $70 for wines rated 92.

The style of a wine is much more important in finding a good deal. Select wines that are authentic and reflect their heritage.

WHERE EXACTLY IS THE VENETO REGION OF ITALY WHERE OUR WINES ARE FROM?

The Veneto Region of Italy comprises seven Provinces: Venezia, Treviso, Belluno, Vicenza, Verona, Padova and Rovigo.

The Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG district is located in the northeast of the Province of Treviso, about an hour’s drive from Venice. This is a district full of charm, art, architecture, and history replete with castles, aristocratic villas, Roman ruins and centuries-old oenological traditions. The residents have a deep-rooted sense of tradition reflected in their hospitality and in local foods such as cheeses, wild mushrooms, honey, chestnuts and, of course, Prosecco. It is a confluence of culture and nature.

The town of Conegliano to the east is home to Italy’s first school of viticulture and oenology that was founded in 1876.

To the west is Valdobbiaddene (home of Gregorio Bortolin’s Ca`Salina winery) a village that contains some of the highest Prosecco vineyards, located on steep hillsides requiring that all cultivation and grape harvesting be conducted by hand. Prosecco has been present here for more than 200 years, and it even can be traced back to the time of the Roman Empire. Gregorio’s family has lived in Valdobbiadene for more than 500 years … that’s a long time!

Asparagus Sformato

This recipe was inspired by a dish I had in the town of Soave in the Veneto

You can use various sizes of soufflé or quiche dishes depending on whether you want to serve 2 or 4 people and whether you want to serve a light meal or first course. For a light meal or brunch, I used 2- 8 ounce soufflé dishes. For a first course, I used 4 small ceramic quiche dishes.

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ lb. Asparagus spears
¼ cup minced Shallot (about 1 large)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon bread crumbs
4 Eggland’s Best eggs
½ cup 1% milk
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Preheat oven to 400°.

Cut the tips off of the asparagus, just below the tip itself. Slice the remainder of the asparagus into ¼ inch thick rounds. Sauté the asparagus and shallot in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Divide butter among the baking dishes and spread with a paper towel to evenly cover surface. Sprinkle each dish with some of the bread crumbs.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt & pepper.

Divide the asparagus among the baking dishes. Pour some of the egg mixture into each dish. Top with cheese.

Place on baking sheet. Bake 15-23 minutes until puffed and golden.

Note: 4 servings bake 15 minutes; 2 servings bake 23 minutes.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE DOC and DOCG DESIGNATIONS?

These designations are derived from Italian law that regulates the production of wine and Prosecco. The DOC is “Denominazione di Origine Controllata” or Certification of Controlled Origin. The DOCG adds e Garantita (Guaranteed Origin) and is reserved for wines of exceptional heritage.

This salmon-colored DOCG neck band serves as a seal and is visible evidence of the guarantee of fine quality. The seal carries a unique identification number that makes each bottle traceable.

This guarantee is provided by three Italian governmental regulatory bodies: The Consorzio di Tutela (Consortium for Protection) which oversees production; the Valoritalia which certifies the wine; and the Italian State that authorizes a numbered label for each DOCG Prosecco bottle. DOC/DOCG designations stipulate precisely where the grapes can be grown, which grapes can be used, and the required time for aging before the wine can be released.

There is only one DOCG Prosecco district in all of Italy, and it is designated as the historic zone of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene. This accolade is awarded only to the most exceptional and rigidly controlled Prosecco in Italy; only Prosecco from this unique area can claim that distinction.
