50 Shades of Rosé Recap
June 21, 201650 SHADES OF ROSÉ – NANTUCKET CULINARY CENTER – JUNE 20TH
We kicked off the 1st Day of Summer 2016 with our “50 Shades of Rosé” Wine Tasting Event at Nantucket Culinary Center.
We take pride in our Rosé selection at Épernay Wine & Spirits.
We have the largest selection on island of that favorite PINK sip of summer!
The event took us around the world as we explored almost 50 rosés from across the globe.
The event was in partnership with Nantucket Culinary Center and Bespoke Events & Party Provisioning.
The beautiful blooms were designed by Soiree Floral and Chef Greg Margolis created a delicious spread of passed appetizers and cheese plates to compliment the Rosés.
As part of the event, guests were given pink tickets in order to vote for their favorites and the results are in!
