Dona Paula Malbec Rosé
Thinking pink? This pale pink rose ($15) boasts the perfect balance between ripe red fruits and tantalizing spice. A must with anything off the grill.

Looking for a little something sweet to accompany dessert? This lightly sparkling red (yes, red) has the perfect amount of sweetness to make any chocolate dessert shine ($19). Full of vibrant strawberry, raspberry and rose petals, it’s the perfect wine for falling in love.
