Visit
Mon Ami Gabi – Chicago and sip on Costieres de Nimes, “Chateau de Campuget,” Mon Ami Gabi’s featured rosé. This wine derives from Rhone, a key wine producing region in the South of France, which is considered the epicenter of rosé. Take in refreshing notes of raspberries and strawberries as you enjoy the bottle in the dining room or the newly redone bistro-style patio.

Request a tableside Rosé Cart stop at
Summer House – Lincoln Park, now featuring the restaurant’s very own and newly released Summer House Rosé. The all-season, indoor-outdoor restaurant is the perfect place to park with a glass of rosé.

A Quick Word from the Pros

Light & Refreshing, with or without food: Provencal-style rosé is the quintessential rosé and is refreshing and light in color & body. Look for keywords of “Aix-en-Provence” or “Cotes-du-Provence”.
Light vs Dark Colored Rosé: Color can be a great guide in how to choose rosé. The lighter the color the more refreshing, while deeper hues of pink indicate a more complex wine reminiscent of a light bodied red wine.
Pocketbook Friendly Choices: There is never a need to go over budget when you’re buying rosé! Compared to red wines, rosé is often less expensive to produce and price tags often don’t always reflect the quality of the wine inside the bottle. When in doubt, grab a $10-15 bottle of Provencal-style or Italian Rosato such as Fiume di Vino at Pizzeria Portofino.
A Bit About Grapes: You may not be familiar with the grapes used to make your rose, not to worry. Rosé traditionally comes from the South of France and is made from grapes like Cinsualt, Mourvedre and Grenache which would never appear on a bottle; they only use the name of the place it is from. No need to source from familiar grapes, as they tend to show far less of their expression as a rosé than they would as a red, but most of their characteristics will hold true.
