Valentine's Day Sale! All Rosé Wines are 14% off, Feb 1 - 14, 2020

Why should you get in on our pink sale?


Rosé wines are not something to scoff at. Yes, when you think of pink wine your mind goes to sweet, tender, and playful (btw what is so wrong with that?). But really, is there anything more manly than seeing a dude sip a pink wine at the bar?

Here are some great thoughts on pinks, and why you should consider adding a rosé to your at home wine menu.

1. They aren't all sweet! Rosé wines come in varying sweetnesses. We carry the off-dry white zinfandal and a special pink moscato for those who enjoy sweet wines but we offer a dry French Rosé as well. 

2. Pink wines are not made by mixing red and white wines, silly! The pink colour can vary from almost white to deep pink. The shade is determined by how long the juices are in contact with red grape skins during the manufacturing process.

3. Rosés make amazing sparkling spring and summer drinks and you can easily mix pink wines to create delicious cocktails and spritzers. Check out the cocktail recipe below for inspiration!

4. Rosé wines are not just a summertime drink. Select a drier pink and serve it cool but not cold during the winter. Plus, who has rules against experiencing the joy of a pink wine on your palate during the dark winter months?

5. Are fruity coolers more your style? There is also a variety of rosé style coolers available. How does Grapefruit Passion, Exotic Fruits, or Rockin' Raspberry Rosé sound? 

6. Rosé wines pair with food extremely well! Think light foods such as hummus, olives, salads, quiche, and seafood.

7. Rosé is here to stay. Get on board!

2018 Limited Editions

Every year, while we quietly go about our day to day business, there are experts going around the world trying to find the best growing regions and the grapes they produce. These wines are usually identified around 2 years in advance, giving our suppliers time to work with different growers making sure they can produce just the right grapes at just the right times. The grapes wind their way through the early life stages of becoming a wine, and when they are finally turned into juice, we get to bring them into the shops and put our finishing touches on them where they turn into some of the best tasting, highest quality wines we produce each year. For better or worse, they're only available for a limited time.

This year we're excited to bring 5 different wines to the shop, each with its own exciting characteristics!
