Girlawhirl loves champagne! But she's just as partial to all kinds of sparkling wines from the Italian Prosecco to Blanc de Blancs that come from California. In fact, she and her Super Pals love the idea of a little sparkling refreshment so much that they try to keep their fridges well stocked at all times. To that end, Girlawhirl loves single-serving sized bubbly…
And while she can always find a half bottle, or split, of Champagne, those are saved for splurges. Her refrigerator staple comes in a pretty pink can, and it's called Sofia.
From Francis Ford Coppola's vineyards and named for his daughter, it's made from a mixture of dry pinot blanc and sauvignon blanc grapes with just a bit of muscat grapes for sweetness. The cans come with straws attached, making it feel like a party, even if it's just Girlawhirl and a Super Pal who are indulging with a takeout dinner. 
When they're out, Girlawhirl and her Super Pals can usually find Sofia wherever they go, but recently some of their favorite hot spots have started offering another single-serving sparkler, called KARMA. This one comes in a wide mouthed bottle designed specifically for sipping and it's also made from California grapes giving it a clean, crisp, dry taste. It's not in stores yet, just in select nightspots in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
