IT’S THE YEAR OF ROSÉ
This guide highlights every delicious, pink-hued potable that we represent in New York, starting with a handful of best-sellers and crowd-favorites, then diving into rosé by region, exploring the new world and old.
Perhaps most importantly, this guide covers the spectrum of styles and price points available for this category, from light and bright patio pounders, to more classic options fit for aperó, to downright serious selections that you can consider holding onto for a while—after all, we say “Rosé Season” cutely, but really, we’re finding every excuse to drink rosé year-round.

GROWER SPOTLIGHT
REGIONAL CLOSE-UP
SANTA BARBARA
Santa Barbara is characterized for its world-class, cool climate wines that are made possible by one of the longest transverse valleys (East to West) found on the western Pacific coast–from Alaska to South America.
The unique climactic conditions that culminate this region make Santa Barbara more well-suited to both a number of varietals that you may see less-often throughout the remainder of California. You can see the real variation of varieties worked with in our rosé guide: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and more.
As an example, Angela Osborne’s search for graceful Grenache led her to Santa Barbara, and her single-vineyard, old-vine expression of the varietal in rosé form is packed with delicate floral and stone fruit flavors with bright acidity and an herbal, anise-tinged finish. These grapes are grown at 3,200 feet and biodynamic principles are used to convert the energy of the land into the bottle.
To learn more about our growers from Santa Barbara, check out Stolpman, Grounded Wine Co., Land of Saints, Tatomer, Lieu Dit, and Donnachadh.
