A good Rosé is a beautiful thing. Especially in a chilled glass. You could focus on their fruity complexity, or you could get a head start on chilling your glass and discover how well Rosé pairs with anything and everything. Think last-minute picnics, golden-hour porch hangs or popping open a chilled can at an outdoor concert. If you're ready to start exploring the world of Rosé, it’s good to keep in mind that lighter colored Rosé often indicates a more delicate and silky texture with floral, dried fruit notes; hot pink means deeper, dense flavors, often with bright tart cherry notes.

The Sale and the Seal
When our team and I really love a wine, it gets the Sommelier Best in Class seal. All these Rosés on sale have the seal — it’s an amazing style of wine and I personally feel these selections represent some really great Rosés being produced around the world right now. Cheers!
