Rosé all day around San Diego

With popular slogans like Team Rosé. Rosé all day and Slay then Rosé, the pink treat that has pleased the palates of discerning wine drinkers and Europeans for generations is enjoying phenomenal success on today’s wine scene. With a meteoric rise in sales and clever pop culture co-opting, more drinkers than ever are delighting in the range of hues and flavors of rosé.

Quick lesson: Rosé can be made in one of three ways, by maceration, or leaving juice in contact with the skins of red grapes, the saignée method, where red wine is “bled off” and used to make a rosé, or by blending red wine juice with white wine juice to dye the wine pink. Rosés can vary in color from pale salmon to a rich pinkish-red, while dominant flavors and aromas include strawberry, cranberry, melon, citrus, and rose petal.

Kicking off its fourth year on Saturday, June 9, people are celebrating National Rosé Day — the ancient wine style (it dates back to 600 BC) — with gusto around San Diego County. Here are some great places around town to get your rosé fix this year.

Provisional Kitchen and Fifth & Rose

Head down to the Gaslamp for two opportunities to get pinky. Provisional Kitchen will be offering specials on both rosé by the glass and bottle along with specials on tokens for their Möet & Chandon Champagne vending machine which will be “taken over by rosé.” Then head to the appropriately monikered Fifth & Rose, where rosé will be flowing all day to the tunes of live music.
