Cocktails & Clothes: It's a Brut Rosé Birthday

My baby turned five years old today! So, I’m celebrating with my favorite Brut Rosé, I deserve it after all. And, now is when I tell you her birth story in deep and gory detail. Just kidding, but I will tell you more about my favorite sparkling Rosé. This sparkling wine comes from Picchetti, a local Bay Area winery in the Santa Cruz mountains. This is a dry Rosé, crisp with delicate bubbles, a floral nose, and clean fruit flavors. It is one of my favorite summer time wines, and while it’s best enjoyed sitting on the beautiful grounds of the winery, surrounded by the mountains, its pretty good anywhere else too.

While the wine is obviously for me, the fancy dresses are for the five year old (ok, also a little bit for me). My dress is Vera Wang, and is from ten years and two babies ago, needless to say it seems to have shrunk a bit... More importantly, it matches this beautiful birthday dress from Tutu Du Monde. Despite my face in this photo, this was the most fun, and I think this is going to be a new tradition, especially the wine.
