Rosé wines are Summer’s most celebrated drink and Coupes will feature their rosé offerings at special prices Thursday, June 6 through Sunday, June 9 in celebration of National Rosé Day (which is technically Sat, June 8). Enjoy a variety of rosé by the glass or sample “La Vie en Rosé” - a flight of 3 rosé sparklings. They have created two specialty cocktails for the occasion: Enjoy the Lady Whistledown (14) comprised of Gratien & Meyer sparkling rosé, Chambord, lemon, and rosé syrup or The Eloise (14) made with William Chris sparkling rosé, vodka, grapefruit, lemon, and  rosé syrup. Coupes will offer 15+ rosé bottles (both true champagnes and sparklings) and 4 still wines by the bottle. A specialty Strawberry Rosé Champagne Cake will also be added to the menu that weekend as a sweet treat.

A rosé is a type of wine that incorporates some of the color from the grape skins, but not enough to qualify it as a red wine and it perfectly mixes fresh, fruity flavors, bright acidity, and lovely colors to create a unique and exciting category of vino. It may be the oldest known type of wine, as it is the most straightforward to make with the skin contact method. Rosé can be still or sparkling, and range in taste from sweet to dry. Rosé can be made with almost any variety of red wine grape, with the lighter color and flavor being achieved by certain fermentation techniques. From its exquisite color to its fascinating production and its myriad food pairing possibilities, this famous “pink” wine has history, culture, and flavor that make it an essential of any collection.
