 
Valdo Prosecco Рtwo words worth remembering. A dry, fragrant bubbly that Rita Bottoms first tasted in Venice, fell in love with, and asked her wine merchant at Shoppers Corner to stock. Having done this, Bottoms provided the sparkling beverage at the book soir̩e held on Ingalls Street for a new book celebrating paintings by Tom Bottoms and words by Rita.
Festive to the max, the charming event spilled forth on the patio of host emporium, La Sirena—loaded with gorgeous antiques, jewelery, and humans all gathered to give thanks for Venice (the title of the new book, published by Cafe Margo, and priced @ $20), the Bottoms duo, and old friends among Santa Cruz literati who lingered long over good conversation and the highly drinkable Valdo Prosecco. Eleven dollars and change. Can your prosecco do that?
