This delicious, dry Rosé is perfect for those who love dry pink wines and Pinot Noir. Even if you can’t buy it in time for Thanksgiving, the holiday season is just starting. Think of this as a fabulous aperitif to kick off your dinner parties—your guests will thank you for it. This pretty, cranberry-hued blush tastes of fragrant, ripe strawberries, cherries, and cranberries, highlighted with pretty notes of Meyer lemon and sweet vanilla beans. It will pair nicely with the traditional turkey dinner, shellfish appetizers, or salty appetizers like chips and dips. Winemakers Don and Gwen Othman donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their Rosé to breast cancer research. Available only at the Edna Valley tasting room, it’s $18 retail.
