Cristalino Brut Rosé

+: Cheap! $7.99 per bottle. Excellent value

-: A tiny bit sweeter than I'd like

Bubbly - it's not just for breakfast anymore. But it certainly does help perk up a foggy SF AM, brutha. And in these trying economic times, why spend more than necessary, I say!
I mean, the Cristalino Brut Rosé Cava ('Cava' means itsa bubbly from Spain, folks) is no Krug, but at $7.99 a pop how the hell can you go wrong? Well, I guess you could go wrong if it tasted like ass but this hooch brings some nice berry aromas with delicate strawberry and cherry flavors. Yummy! Could be slightly more dry, and the bubbles could be ever so slightly more fine, but cheap drunks can't be too choosy!

So just in time for your 4th of July boozefest, pick up a case or three. It will be a hit and you won't break the bank account paying for it. At least use it to serve to guests that wouldn't know a Roederer Cristal from a  can (yes I said CAN) of Sophia 'carbonated white wine'! Hey, we all have friends like that.

You can find it at wine.com or if you just can't wait and need some now you can get it at...damn this hurts...I don't know if I can bring myself to say those two letters that are the bane of my existence...K...and...L. Whew. That was tough. Actually someone must have slipped some happy pills to all the staffers there on Monday, there so so many 'Hi, how are you?''s that I actually started to think K&L management might be taking my wrath of them and their 'tudes to heart! Nah, prolly not.

Sophias do have a place a in the world I have to say. For instance, if your friend forces you to go disk golfing with her boyfriend and his buddies and they are all drinking cans of Bud light (gag!), a cool can (or more) of sophia can save the day. You look sophisticated (in that scenario anyway) AND you can get drunk and pretend you are not watching strangers throw frisbees.
