Rosado, Rosato.. a Rosé by Any Other Name

Saturday, May 4th
4:30 - 7:00

Before the season is done, you will hear us talk about our love of dry pink wines like a broken record, but we did feel ready for our second Rosé tasitng of 2019.  We've received a number more wines since the last tasting, and I had heard from many Saturday regulars who couldn't make the first edition, wondering when we would do another round?  Well here it is, in all it's coral, copper, salmon, fuschia, scarlet glory!  For this sampling, we are going to be joined by Hope Valley Wine staff alumnus Jen Salomé, now our rep with the Haw River Wine Man.  Her portfolio includes many of our favorite Italian and Spanish houses, so we are going to focus on lovely rosé from those two countries.  But if you can't make it this Saturday, don't fear, I'm sure we will have at least 2-3 more Rosé tastings before the season is done, but for now - carpe diem!
