Turnip, Garlic, and Lamarca Prosecco Sparkling Wine

It's become a tradition of sorts. I retired from the Library of Congress almost two years ago. Every so many months my husband and I have dinner with a friend of mine from the Library and his family. Every once in awhile it happens around the holidays. We usually bring a little something or other because they never let us return the favor! This time we brought a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine - dressed in holiday sweaters - along with some Persian cookies and treats from Yaz in Vienna, Virginia. After dinner on the most recent occasion, my friend brought out a very sparkly black bag with "diamonds" that contained some very interesting contents. He said it had something to do with his ethnic background and heritage. But I'm still wondering about the turnip and the garlic! What was more traditional were two small bottles of sparkling wine - Lamarca Prosecco. It was a kind gesture to think of sharing a glass of bubbly in spirit with us on New Year's Eve. When we got home, we received a photo of another turnip wearing one of the Christmas sweaters. I guess that's what we like about this friend. He always makes us smile.
