Wine of the Day: Mont-Ferrant Rosé Brut Cava

August is the month where any and all things are cause for celebration. Vacations are commencing (or ending), vows are said and glasses clinked for even the oddest of holidays, such as Elvis Presley Week. For those of us who love that Champagne feel but are not huge on the price tag, Cava is one of the next best, and delicious, choices.

Mont-Ferrant Rosé Brut Cava is a traditionally created Cava with a twist: its pink hue is a result of ideal weather conditions from May to October in the normally temperate Spain. Enjoyed well chilled, this Cava is affordable, has a distinctly silky texture and a pure bouquet. This bottle works perfectly for a late night get-together...even if said get-together happens to be you, the couch and a pile of awesome Blu-Rays.

Tip: Pair this intriguingly colored wine with Spanish small-plate tapas and a sweet film by Spanish director Isabel Coixet, The Secret Life of Words. This deep film works perfectly with the light, perky flavor of the Cava.
