What: 2017 Vintage Rosé Blowout
When: Thursday, June 14, 6:00- 8:00pm
Cost: $15 (Includes a great selection of cheeses & crackers)
Stop in anytime between 6:00 and 8:00 and taste a selection of at least 16 of our favorite 2017 Rosés. This is your chance to taste, buy the ones you like and load up your deck cooler because . . . summer is finally here!
Rosé consumption in the United States continues to be one of the fastest growing segments in the wine market. After selling dry Rosé for almost 20 years, it is very refreshing to have people actually coming in the shop asking for them now. The French Rosés are very limited due to low yields in 2017, however the quality is excellent, fresh, pure and true to the terroir. Get them while you can!
This is a casual walk-about style tasting, so no reservations are required. Just please let us know if you are bringing a group. A selection of cheeses and crackers will be served. Here's the lineup:
