Day by Rosé

TASTING NOTES:
“Vacationer is easy drinking, everyday wine. Crisp and refreshing, Vacationer pairs perfectly with good friends, front porches, rooftop parties, happy hour, or at the beach. The bright, round flavors balance with the dry earthiness and subtle sweetness, making it every day, any time of the year rosé.” (AbV 13.5%, 70% Malbec 30% Petite Verdot)

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
“Day by Day” is the last track on songwriter Brett Dennen’s self-titled first album, released in 2003. A short, repetitious song consisting only of Brett and drummer Randy Schwartz’s vocals and two instrumentalists (no drums), it’s a very casual and laidback closer to the album. Considering Dennen’s quote regarding this wine as one of its collaborators, it seems like a fitting pair:

“A wine like this helps to live life like a vacation. It sips like a simple melody with subtle depth. Vacations are a necessity to the soul. They inspire us to think and feel outside of the routines we get caught up in. Drinking rosé is my favorite way to unwind.” - Brett Dennen

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Summer BBQ or spicy Thai.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
A vacation.
