Rosé all day? Don’t mind if we do. 🍷☀️
Join us on June 10th for a pink-powered edition of our monthly Flights & Bites pairing experience! We’re popping bottles (literally) and pouring our way through the many expressions of rosé from Spain & Portugal — from bubbly cava, to single varietal Touriga Nacional to blends!
Oh, and yes… there will be a rosé cocktail because one form of rosé simply isn’t enough. 😉
And let’s clear something up once and for all: rosé is for EVERYONE — not just the ladies.
Come thirsty, come hungry, come ready to blush a little.
