I’m not saying it’s just the rosé causing me to YOLO (and yolo again), I’m just saying it has been a contributing factor.

Not only is it drinkable, even when you open it un-chilled with a bic pen and a shoe while on the road to Big Bear for 8 hours (true story), but it magically doesn’t give you hangovers even if you drink the whole thing. Not that I would know that from experience or anything.
It also won a Gold Medal at the 2016 Denver International Wine Competition.
I’m not normally a sweet wine person; I turn my nose up at most whites. But this rosé is a favorite, even in the middle of winter. SoCal winter, that is.
The website says:
Lot 514 is sourced from the Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley, and Dry Creek Valley appellations. We acquired this wine in shiners (wine already in bottle), so the cellaring work is already done! Produced from top-class free run Grenache juice, it shimmers with a light pink hue and rich, mouthwatering fruit that puts it among the best examples of California dry Rosé. Made by one of Sonoma’s finest wineries that had just a little too much on their hands. Compare at $20.
