Two Great Champagnes I tried last night at a wine tasting! Great Hostess Gifts
First is from Coppola- its the Sofia Sparkling Wine- Francis Ford Designed it for Sofia Coppola's Wedding- its Absolutely Delicious! Its also wrapped in pink cellophane so its a PERFECt hostess gift.
The second is a Red Sparkling wine that goest grreat with chocolate and has low alcohol content so its a great apertif or desert wine or even great for brunch.
Just wanted to pass along 2 great gift ideas or 2 great wines to serve at a party

I love the Sofia, I had it on New Years Eve for the first time. It's very good, almost a cross between a sweeter white wine and champagne.

I have the Rosa Regale at home in my wine refrig. I guess I'll give it a try. I didn't think it would be any good, so I was waiting for company to come over so I could pass it on to them.

I have bought CASES of that red sparkling wine - Rosa Regale. I absolutely love it. I had it for the first time at a fondue restaurant in NYC with their dessert fondue. So yummy!

I'm not a fan of the Red, but my SIL is fanatic about it. She buys it by the case and has the whole family into it. She's going to serve it at her wedding.
