For this month's Wino Wednesday pick I wanted to venture out of my comfort zone. I've heard from so many other women how delicious Rose's are, so when I saw the Sofia Rose at Costco for $10 (and a pretty bottle!) I figured I'd give it a try and if I didn't like it, it wouldn't break the bank since it was inexpensive.
I'm glad I gave a Rose a try, I definitely will be trying more - especially a lighter colored Rose because I've heard that the lighter ones taste even better! Another thing I'd like to try from the Francis Ford Coppola winery is the Sofia Mini's which is sparkling wine in a can - they look so fun! Perfect for a girl's night or to take to the beach!
Do you like Rose? Which is your favorite?
Also, I recently found this article that explains how long opened wine will last!
I'm obviously not an expert in any shape or form on Rose's but, I thought this Rose was very good and refreshing, perfect to drink on a warm summer night. I could taste the fruitiness of the wine, and yet it wasn't sweet - which I like, because I do not like sweet wine.
Here are the wine maker's notes: "Feminine and stylish, with a fragrant perfume of fresh
strawberries and lavender, this rosé explodes with ripe, juicy flavors
of cherry, raspberry and citrus zest. This refreshing wine is
reminiscent of the popular dry rosés served in seaside café along the
French Riviera. It’s crisp, delicate, and elegantly fruity with just a kiss of spice on the finish."

I love Sofia! They make awesome mini champagne cans too! Rose has been back in popular demand this summer! I went to dinner in the city with some girlfriends and the place we went was sold out of all of their rose! My personal favorite is Whispering Angel... also super tasty!
So glad you tried a Rose...finally! ;) Yes to Pink and Fabulous' favorite Whispering Angel. I've been preaching about that wine forever!!! It's perfection!
I can't believe you'd never had Rose! I'm glad you loved it :-D
I love Rose! I'm going to have to try this brand now :)
Ohhh that bottle is SO pretty!! I haven't had too many Rose's but the ones I've had I liked. And LOVE that chart telling you how long wine lasts! I've always wondered that!

I love Rosé. I will tell you that I have heard that Sofia cans can give some people wicked headaches but I have never experienced it and they are so cute :)
I love love love Rosé! yummy. need to get this!
Was totally going to do a Rose but then realized I didn't have a bottle of wine for the post so had to make-do with a CVS variety hah. I'll have to try this next time. Thank you again for the great host opportunity, lady :)
Roses are definitely my fav for the warmer months!!! You're right, so refreshing on a summer night!
Rose's are yummy in the summer! I'm glad I'm not the only one that buys wine based on the label/bottle :)
I still haven't found a rose I love so thanks for the rec! As for the Coppola winery wines, they're all so freaking fabulous so I'm sure the Sofia Mini's are equally delicious.
Ooh that corked guide is so useful. Linked up! Thanks for hosting, gal!

I am loving roses now. I used to shy away from them as I thought they would be sweet but I love the drier ones!! Great chart btw and good tip about the lighter roses
i am loving the packaging! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
Never tried this brand, but I love a cute label! Sounds delish!
Now that I think about it... I don't think I've ever had rose! Cute packaging sells me every time though -- it would be hard to turn this bottle down!
