My favorite dance scene from the 1963 Ann Margret musical Bye Bye Birdie [1] is entitled "Lot of Livin to Do." [2] In it, she sings of "drinking Champagne as if it were water." But, not just any Champagne — pink Champagne. When I was little, I too, dreamed of drinking pink Champagne as if it were water. Well as luck would have it, sometimes I do!

My current favorite "pink Champagne" is actually a sparkling Cava Pinot Noir Rosé [3] from Spain. It's refreshingly dry with light airy bubbles. It's an elegant, yet playful wine that is both crisp and fruity. The aroma is reminiscent of berries and it has a light body that coats the tongue.

What I love most about this sparking Rosé is its easy drinkability. I've enjoyed it with everything from cheesy rich appetizers to roast chicken to a light green salad. The affordable $15 [4] price is the icing on the cake. Do you sip sparkling Rosé?
