On these occasions I just love to bring out the bubbles. But not just any bubbles will do. Being a true girlie girl, I like to make a statement and in my book, pink bubbles are the only way to go! Right now my favourite by far is Collalto Rosé Sparkling Wine. To me it captures fun in a bottle. Reading at Home Being a busy working mum, I love nothing more than being able to steal some quiet moments away with a good book and a glass of my favourite Collalto. No matter if I'm catching up with one of my pals Cathy Kelly, Patricia Scanlon or Claudia Carroll through the pages of their books, or re-reading one of the steamy scenes from one of my own novels, happiness is time out with a magical adventure and a tasty tipple to wash it down. The Restaurant Having appeared on the RTÉ TV show The Restaurant some years ago and scoring the top rating of Five Stars, I've since been recognised for having great skills in the kitchen and impeccable taste-buds. So, believe me when I say Collalto Rosé is my Five Star choice of the day. Sparkling Value Once upon a time France was the only country considered worthy of making palatable bubbles. Sure there's no denying the credibility of great champagne but with more than a 1,000 years of winemaking behind them, the Collalto family have considerable winemaking history of their own nestled up in the hills of Venice. When comparing Collalto Sparkling Rosé to Champagne, the quality, distinctive taste and more-than-reasonable price tag of a bottle of Collalto, in my eyes, makes it the winner hands down. Princess Isabella Collalto de Croÿ head of the Collalto wine estate says: Amanda clearly enjoys meeting and catching up with friends as she has picked one of the finest examples of our sparkling wines, perfect for entertaining at home. It's a real statement. Collalto is a traditional family wine estate who has not forgotten how important the soil is, the value of caring for the grapevine and making outstanding wines by using modern, up-to-date equipment and methods. These methods integrate family traditions with experience, to produce a wine which is not only an icon of its place and vintage, but also an ambassador for the patience and skills of its winemaker and the traditions of the family which has helped to create it. The Collalto family have always known that it takes more than simple science, to produce a wine which is elegant and filled with a sense of place and tradition. And this we have done for more than 1000 years! If you are new to Prosecco or just getting to know the wine then you should also try our Prosecco Brut. Collalto Prosecco Brut: A pale straw colour, with delicate, long lasting bubbles and a bouquet that is intense, fruity aromas with impressions of ripe pear and golden apple over a delicate floral background. Dry and refreshingly crisp on the palate, well balanced, with a long aromatic finish. RRP: €17.99 Collalto Spumante Rosé: A delicate, long-lasting bubble that accentuates the immediate appeal of its lively peony-pink hue. An intensely fragrant bouquet, releasing scents of rose petal and lime blossom, with an emphatic, long-lingering distinctiveness that sets this wine apart. A dry and refreshing Rosé with an aroma-laden finish that seems endless. RRP: €18.99 OVER 50 STORES NATIONWIDE www.carryout.ie SIMPLY BETTER WINES, BEERS & SPIRITS Enjoy Alcohol Sensibly. Visit
