We’re entering one of the best times of the year - sparkling wine season. This season extends pretty indisputably from mid-November through the New Year, encompassing all holidays, celebratory meals, and family gatherings therein. Though classic Champagne is always a great option, this year we want to help you freshen up your holiday table with some wonderfully unexpected, delightfully drinkable, and marvelously affordable new bubblies.

At our Sparkling Wine for the Holidays event coming up on Friday, November 15th, we’ll be sampling and discussing four of our current favorites, including a fresh and vibrant rosé from Austria that I’m highlighting below. Come mingle with other wine lovers and enjoy an engaging educational presentation, all while sampling a selection of bottles thoughtfully curated for your winter celebrations. Read on below for a peek at one of the four wines we’ll be tasting, and then purchase your tickets here!

NV June's Rosé $28

Anyone who says that rosé season ends with the arrival of fall is missing out on one of the very best occasions for drinking pink wine - Thanksgiving. Of course, Beaujolais is a classic pairing, but this year I’m very excited to be livening things up by throwing a bottle (or two) of sparkling rosé into the mix. This gorgeous blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Zweigelt from Austria is the sort of happy wine that is impossible not to enjoy drinking. Clean and lightly fruity with lovely floral and mineral notes, June’s Rosé can be enjoyed as a pre-dinner sipper, or paired with turkey and all the fixings during the main event.


We hope you’ll join us and taste this wine, as well as three other excellent bottles, on November 15th. Tickets are $35/person and are available now through our Eventbrite page.
