We provide a microphysical model that connects neutrino oscillations to dark energy, which has predictions of Lorentz and CPT violating neutrino oscillations. We argue that the DE is a BCS condensate of flavored neutrinos. As neutrinos propigate in their own condensate they naturally have oscillations proportional to the DE energy density. All that is assumed in this model is a covariant coupling of neutrinos to gravity and a finite number density of neutrinos in the cosmic rest frame; this situation yields an attractive channel for the formation of a spin zero neutrino condensate leading to late time acceleration self consistently. Moreover, the vacuum oscillation has two predictions: (1) CPT violating oscillations proportional to the DE density (2) A connection between the evolution of the equation of state of the DE condensate and the neutrino oscillations. These predictions can be probed independently with future Supernovae and Neutrino Telescopes.
