Fun with Bubbles

As I have mentioned in prior blogs, I am a huge champagne (and sparkling wine) lover so this is a fun one for me to do. Not only because it's sparkling wine, but because it's a fun little can of sparkling wine.

Sophia Coppola's Blanc de Blancs is the first split of its kind, as far as I know, it's the first wine I have ever seen in a can. Plus, unlike other splits, it's sold in a four-pack so you are getting a full bottles worth of bubbly. Not to sound like a lush, but these cans are fun because you can take them out with you and not feel super self conscious because they look like a little energy drink. They are perfect for a picnic!

Not only do they travel well, look adorable and make it easy to drink champagne whenever you want, it tastes great. The nose is sweet with an aroma of melon and a little bit of a floral note.

On the initial sip, you get the sweetness in the front of the mouth. There are hints of melon and peach but a little bit of tartness and astringents as the bubbles move to the back of your tongue. The finish is short, yet delicious. This sipper is great solo but would also make a great brunch option and pairs well with fruit. This could also be a great dessert companion with creme brulee, pound cake or french vanilla ice cream with berries.

This sparkling wine is fun to drink and even more fun to introduce to other people. It's not just a novelty item, it's a real treat.
