Rosé Wines

Nothing says summer like a delicious rosé. At Acquistapace’s, we offer many brands of rosé wine from around the globe, ranging in sweetness and fruit notes. Whether you prefer bold, vibrant summer flavors or dry hints of lemon and cherry, we have a crisp rosé for you. 

Our top choices for the month include the following:

• Pnk Salt: Pnk Salt is a dry rosé offering a rich, bright flavor profile with cherry jam, green fig, and salted lemon aromas. The salty finish and light palette complement the sweet tones well, making it easy to drink and quite refreshing. 
• Perla Rosado: Perla Rosado is a vibrant, well-spiced rosé that will leave your mouth watering for more. Try pairing this wine with salad, pasta, seafood, chicken, or your summer barbeque feast. 
• Broadbent Vinho Verde: Broadbent Vinho Verde is a unique rosé made from only red grape varieties, using a soft crushing process that results in a clear, bright pink finish. The off-dry wine from Portugal offers a light, fresh, and fruity taste with a slight prickle on the tongue. 

Beers to Kick Off Summer

If rosé isn’t your thing, don’t fret. A barbecue wouldn’t be complete without ice-cold brews to crack open with your friends and family. A few of our favorites this month include the following:

• Urban South Lime Cucumber Gose: This unfiltered wheat beer offers a refreshing, thirst-quenching finish with key lime juice from locally grown cucumbers and kettle-sourced kosher salt. At just 4% ABV, you can easily kick back a few in no time. 
• Hoosier Brewing Fruited Beers: Hoosier offers a wide range of summery fruit-flavored beers. The Fruit Black Diamond provides a blend of cherry, blackberry, vanilla, black currant, and plum, while the Chubby Bunny Marshmallow Gummy Sharks offer a sour kick that will take you back to your childhood days. 
• Nola Brewing Mango Squeeze Wheat Ale: Wheat ales and mango infusions are a match made in heaven. This Louisiana-based brew offers a ripe, refreshing fruity taste with mild sweetness, a bit of tartness, and a classic, bready undertone. 

Candy Grapes — a Sweet Way to Beat the Summer Heat

Fresh, juicy grapes are a wonderful summer treat, but why not elevate them into something even more fun and refreshing? Candy grapes are a delightful summer snack or dessert that combines fresh grapes with sweet candy coating. Their fruity, tangy flavors pair excellently with a glass of dry or sweet rosé — whichever you prefer.

If you’re trying to beat the summer heat, we recommend serving your candy grapes out of the freezer. Store them in a freezer-safe bag and allow them to soften at room temperature for just a few minutes, then pop them in your mouth — you’ll enjoy a juicy, tangy, sweet explosion that will leave you craving more.

Candy grapes are not only a delightful treat for individual enjoyment but also a fantastic addition to summer parties and gatherings. Their vibrant colors and unique texture make them a visually appealing centerpiece for fruit trays or dessert platters. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, pool party, or picnic, candy grapes are sure to impress your guests and add a touch of whimsy to the occasion.Whether you’re looking for a crisp rosé, fruity IPA, or fun candy to pair with your drink, we have everything you need and more at Acquistapace’s.
