Sipping Your Way Through December—Day 15

The Pale Rosé by Sacha Lichine 2024

Here’s a fun one! The Pale is produced by the team behind Whispering Angel and is named for its light pink hue. It embodies everything an authentic Provençal rosé should be: dry, light, and crisp, with notes of ripe strawberry and raspberry, tempered by the tartness of grapefruit. It’s like that one friend who’s always in a good mood, shows up to the party completely put together, and knows exactly how to keep things fresh and lively.

Added bonus: the wine has a screw top, so no fussing needed to get straight to the juice! Photo: Lisa Denning

It’s a great holiday wine because it goes so well with all kinds of food, never weighs you down, and brings a welcome splash of brightness to the table. On cold winter nights, it’s a great reminder of warm sunny days to come… eventually!

And that label! Cheerful, chic, and glamorous, with a playful, old-school elegance that’s made for festive tables and crowd-pleasing pours.
