Glasses of Rosé
The 2019 vintage just released, and you will find exceptional values in Rosés from France, Germany, Austria and right here in the U.S.

“Rosé.” I said it. The patios around town will soon be calling us back for brunch, happy hour and later evening sunsets. Our first outdoor glass feels like a reunion and begs for a second! The 2019 vintage just released, and you will find exceptional values in Rosés from France, Germany, Austria and right here in the U.S. I recommend the French-inspired Le P’tit Paysan from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Central Coast of California.

Owner/winemaker Ian Brand has dialed in a traditional blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault offering the flavor of fresh strawberry with crisp acidity. Fun fact: I. Brand & Family Winery was named winemaker of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle in 2018.
