Foley Johnson Chardonnay: Carneros fruit is used for this classic, rich, full-bodied Napa chardonnay. Yellow pear, green apple and grilled peaches are accented by buttered croissant and a nice, long, creamy vanilla finish.
Très Chic Rosé: One sip of this beauty and you'll think you’ve been transported to the South of France. Rose petal-colored with red berry fruits, grapefruit and notes of Provence herbs, this rosé leans towards the drier side and is a terrific value.
Jadix Picpoul de Pinet: The grape, Picpoul, loosely translates to “lip-stinger,” hinting at its brisk acidity. It’s a super refreshing wine with green apple, honeydew melon and zesty lime aromas and flavors, plus a lingering minerality. This version is a great introduction to the style as its acidity is a little softer than most other versions.
Summer Water Rosé: More than a rosé, Summer Water is a state of mind. Strawberry, pink grapefruit and orange blossom are the highlights in this perfectly crisp, light-hearted and dry rosé destined for a good time. Served chilled with good food and great company.
