Gérard Bertrand Gris Blanc Rosé: This beautiful, salmon pink rosé hails from the Tautavel area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains. Made primarily from handpicked Grenache grapes, it has supple cherry aromas. Red berry fruits, slight peach notes and mineral undertones round out the palate and give the wine a fresh and elegant finish.
Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre Rosé: The Mourvèdre grape is very rare in the golden state, but the grapes used in this wine come from 100-year-old vines planted in Oakley, California. The sandy soils and cool temperatures produce a wine full of bright red, tart raspberry and watermelon flavors. This rosé pairs great with spicy dishes or grilled salmon.
Biscaye Baie Sauvignon Blanc: Hailing from the Gascony region of Southern France, this wine is a beautiful blend of old and new world styles, and a terrific bargain for the price. White flowers and peaches jump out of the glass on the nose, while pear and creamy citrus fruit flavors wash over the entire palate.
Underwood Rosé: Don’t be fooled by the fact that this wine comes in a can—it has classic, elegant strawberry and watermelon flavors worth a sip. Plus, the can chills quicker than a conventional glass bottle, is easier to pack for all your adventures and recycles better than glass, as well. You can enjoy your wine and feel good about helping out the environment at the same time. Cheers to that!
Gérard Bertrand Côte Des Roses: The rose-shaped bottle this wine comes in is absolutely beautiful, but the wine is not to be outdone. The wine has a soft, pale pink color and aromas of red currant and rose petals. Dry and medium-bodied, it has flavors of blood orange, white peach and almond notes that linger on the crisp finish.
