Sparkling Wine-Soaked Strawberry Shortcake is a light and sophisticated dessert ideal for summer gatherings.

I come from a long line of strong, kind, and nurturing women. My mother is one of four sisters, all of whom are dear to me in ways I can't begin to describe. Together, they taught me how to navigate the world as a female: with confidence, empathy, humility and faith. They also taught me how to entertain. The parties and showers thrown by my aunties are legendary; the food goes on for miles and the decor is nothing short of a Hollywood film set. I had this standard in mind when Keith and I set out to create this Sparkling Wine-Soaked Strawberry Shortcake.

When our friends at Casal Garcia sent us some of their incredible Sparkling Rosé, we knew we had to create something special. I instantly thought of the many bridal showers my aunties have hosted over the years. I asked Keith to create a dessert worthy of our next family gathering. There is just something so feminine about this sparkling wine, with its beautiful pink hue and its delicately sweet flavor. We thought that strawberries at the height of their season would be the perfect pairing.

Keith baked up an incredible shortcake, with a great fluffy texture that is not too sweet. We bought some plump, juicy strawberries from the farmers' market, and he marinated them in a bit of sugar and wine to make them even more delectable. We served this wine-soaked shortcake with some fresh whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint.

Sparkling Wine-Soaked Strawberry Shortcake goes great with a glass of sparkling rosé, and it is definitely worthy of a special celebration. It is pretty enough to be served at a bridal shower, but simple enough to top off a weeknight meal. This one will surely pass the test in my family; I only hope that it will make my momma and my aunties proud. I certainly learned from the best.
