The 2016 Salient® Chardonnay (Carneros), paired with the finest Austrian stemless glassware from Riedel and the sleekest French-made corkscrew from L’Atelier du Vin, makes for a white wine lover’s dream.

Rosé isn't just for summer — it's great with lighter fare all year round. This case was marketed for summer because that's when it's most popular, but when Rosé runs out at our house, sometime in late Fall, it always feels like a small tragedy.

Why buy any old six pack of rosé when you can choose this one? "These are all hard-to-find Rosés that have been carefully selected for this uniquely pink combo case; crafted by superb California winemakers. All of the wines included have won fantastic scores and accolades at major wine competitions, and/or are considered first-rate examples of wonderful Rosé that you simply need to taste! Since each wine is made from a different wine varietal, you'll get to have a delicious and exciting tasting experience with friends and family."

Enjoy this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with Memphis-style dry rub pork or beef ribs, grilled tri-tip, or gnocchi with wild mushrooms, sage, and prosciutto."
