THE ULTIMATE BEACH WINE
blog | June 10, 2020 – 7:25pm | By Catherine Fallis
Summer is here! Even with limitations still on multiple fronts of our lives, we can still enjoy the warmer weather, sunshine, and the ultimate beach wine – Rosé! Evocative names such as Hampton Water, the delicious new Rosé from Jon Bon Jovi, Jesse Bongiovi and Gérard Bertrand, or Doug Margerum’s Riviera Rosé from Santa Barbara, take us through the glass to some of the best beaches on the planet. Let’s celebrate National Rosé Day together this Saturday, June 13th, by raising a glass of beach wine, either one of our picks, one of your favorites, or one that is already chilling in your fridge. Cheers from the team at Planet Grape Wine Review.
