Sip & Stream: 2021 Nino Ardevi Prosecco Rose Brut DOC ($19.99) + The Witches of Hollywood
Nino Ardevi Prosecco Rosé is a wonderous blend of Glera and Pinot Noir. What I love about it: it’s light, delicate, with a pale pink hue. The Glera grape gives notes of white flowers, green apples, citrus, and blossom, and the Pinot Noir enhances the subtle hints of raspberry. It was named one of Italy’s Best Wines of 2022. This is the perfect wine to enjoy with witchy documentaries. You can find it here at Big Hammer Wines and have it delivered to your door!
Once again, Prime Video has suggested another documentary to me that I must check out. I love old Hollywood movies and there’s a 2020 historical documentary about all the witches in Hollywood movies — from the 1930s to present day. Think The Wizard of Oz, Maleficient, and the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus. The documentary goes through the different eras of Hollywood and how those witch characters evolved with the female movement telling a social story through female power. Streaming Time: 55 minutes.
Happy Streaming! 🍷 📺
