I had seen Sofia (named for Francis Coppola's daughter, of course) at the Niembaum-Coppola winery when mr. boyfriend and I (technically not a boyfriend at the time but whatever) went on our little excursion to Napa. Recently discovered that Trader Joe's carries four-packs of the sparkling white for about ten bucks. I ventured over to TJs after going to Michael's (it was in the next plaza over) to see if the carried it. I got the last box :) Wanted to try one tonight so I broke it open and was instantly enamored by the little red can and the retractable straw (reminiscent of elementary school juice boxes) adhered to the side. It's a bit drier than what I prefer, but the novelty did (and still does, I guess) sucker me in. In all honesty, though, the straw just increases the fizziness, which I don't like. After a few sips I disposed of the straw and drank it from the glass as I would any other wine. I don't have champagne flutes...yet! I love champagne flutes and am still searching for a great-looking (yet affordable) set.

The straw does kind of remind me of a tampon applicator, though =\
