  • Trisaetum 2014 Rosé of Pinot Noir - Highly limited and only available now at City Winery as an exclusive, this rosé is a beautiful, coppery-salmon color loaded with scents of fresh raspberries and honeysuckle. Imbibers find notes of strawberries, oranges and cream on the palate with lively acidity for balance.
  • AIX Rosé 2014 – This award-winning rosé is the top blend of Maison Saint Aix. Featuring Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault this blend is a great complement to light salads, grilled fish and Asian cuisine. Consumers can sip on this at City Winery and Bascule.
  • Jean Max Roger 2014 Sancerre Rosé Cuvee - Direct pressing of Pinot Noir grapes give this wine a salmon pink color, along with lightness and freshness. Red currant and strawberry are some of the common aromas of this wine making it a perfect match for Indian and Asian cuisine, especially sushi, deli meats and smoked salmon. Wine lovers can find this wine at Rittergut.
  • Palisade 2014 – The vibrant pink French rosé has notes of wild flowers, candied fruit, and strawberries. This 100% merlot is recommended as the perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes or as an aperitif.
