Please join us in celebrating Rosés this month! May is the official kick off of
the Rosé Season. We highlighted some domestic and imported Rosés that we know
you shall enjoy. Pink wine happily spans the color space between red and white
wine, in a way, Rosé is more like a state of mind. Rosé happens when the skins of
red grapes touch the wine for only a short time. Where some red wines ferment for
weeks at a time on red grape skins, Rosé wines are stained red for just a few hours,
the winemaker has complete control over the color of the wine, and removes the red
grape skins (the source of the red pigment) when the wine reaches the perfect color.
As you can imagine, nearly any red wine grape (from Cabernet Sauvignon to Syrah)
can be used to make Rosé wine.
Sit back and enjoy some of the delicate and dimensional flavors of Provence
Rosés or the profound and complex flavors of the domestic Rosé out by the pool
or just simply having a lovely time with friends and family at an outdoor event. We
have an amazing selection of Rosés for a thoughtful gift for Mother’s Day or just
because you want to show that special someone you care. Enjoy these Rosés with a
charcuterie board, fresh seafood ceviche or delicate oysters on the half shell!
