Summer days are hot and hectic in Yerevan. As the sun goes down, you can feel the city change gears as temperatures cool. Families come out to stroll and patrons gather in outdoor cafés, finished with work or back from day trips to tourist destinations, ready to relax and enjoy the evening.

That's where we first tried an Armenian Rosé and became immediate converts to the simple joys of this wine. Refreshing yet interesting, Armenian Rosé's are easy to drink, pair beautifully with appetizers like Mediterranean dips or cheese and charcuterie. Most of all, they make you smile as you transition from discussing the day's events and begin to look forward to what the evening has to offer.
