Wine Rack Staple: Sofia Mini Blanc de Blancs

2009_10_sofia.jpg One of our more versatile wine rack staples is Sofia Mini Blanc de Blancs 187ml cans. The beauty of these little beauties is it allows you to dole out the right amount of bubbly without worrying that you will be left with a half empty bottle that may go flat.

Keep on Hand for:

Mixing cocktails
BYO Outdoor Events - picnics, pool, patio
Party Favors (we gave these out after our wedding ceremony as a celebratory drink prior to cocktail hour)
When you just want something bubbly - pair it with anything from fried chicken to truffled wagyu tartare.

What you get out of this can?

Sweet pears with a little zest and a layer of honey offers up a bigger flavor. The bubbles help lift the flavor up from being too sweet. Perfect for mixing with St. Germain (Elderflower Liqueur), Lemon and, if you need that extra kick, gin.

Where to buy?

Binny’s
Whole Foods (near the sushi counter)
Francis Coppola Winery
