Pol Clement Brut Rosé NV A GLK favorite for a reason. This French sparkler brings fresh berry aromas and long-lasting bubbles to every glass. Wildly drinkable. We pair it with fried zucchini, seared trout, fried chicken… or just enjoy it solo.
Funaro Rosé of Nero d’Avola, Sicily 2024 Pale salmon hue and a juicy bouquet of strawberry, apricot, and blood orange. Beautiful with creamy burrata or our salmon dinner.
Lioco Rosé of Carignan, Mendocino 2024 This rosé is all about freshness: white guava, chrysanthemum, white raspberry, peach pit. Ideal for slow dinners or fast friends. It's Jenny’s fave every summer.
