This is a review of the Long Island Rose from  Wölffer Estate , for the Provence Rose from  Wölffer Estate Click Here Wine Name:  Wölffer Estate Rosé Producer:  Wölffer Estate Vineyard Price:  $14.99 Vintage:  2023 Date Purchased:  April 8, 2025 Store:  Astor Wines & Spirits Location:  399 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10003 Phone:  (212) 674-7500 Website:   astorwines.com Quick Description: A dry rosé like this one deserves to be served with good food and even better emotional armor. I opened it on a weeknight while plating up brisket and sheet-tray carrots I frantically roasted for my boyfriend and his visiting mother. She doesn't drink much, which was a blessing — because frankly, I needed the full bottle to mentally escape the reality of another ill-informed American trade war flailing its way across the global stage. This rosé isn’t soft or flirty. It’s composed, sharp, and exactly what you reach for when you need somet...

Wine name: Cavit Producer: Cavit Price:  $14.70  Date purchased: April 21, 2025 Store:  Anthony Liquors Location: 52 Spring Street, NY   Cavit Pinot Grigio  is the kind of wine you keep in your fridge  just in case  — and then end up reaching for way more often than expected. It’s light, clean, and doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. You’re not going to find a wild flavor journey or anything too complex here, but what you  will  find is a crisp, easygoing white that does exactly what it needs to do: refresh you, pair well with pretty much anything, and quietly elevate the moment. At first sip, it leans into a bright, zesty profile — fresh and dry without being sharp. The mouthfeel is smooth, almost soft, and there’s just enough acidity to keep things interesting.  It’s not a wine you’ll write poems about, but it  is  one you’ll finish the bottle of, without noticing how fast it went. Whether you’re cooking something light, unw...

  Wine Name:  Tilia Malbec Producer:  Tilia Wines, Argentina Price:  $11.99 Date Purchased:  April 8, 2025 Store:  Abbey Road Wines & Spirits Location:  877 10th Ave, New York, NY 10019 Phone:  (212) 877-5757 Tilia with the blurry warm portrait focus she deserves.      Tilia Malbec tastes like communion wine — and I mean that in the most reverent way possible. It has that rich, velvety, slightly nostalgic quality that makes you feel like something bigger than yourself is happening… or at the very least, that you’re about to overshare with a stranger and feel  great  about it.      It’s dry, yes, but with a rounded softness. A whisper of tartness that’s more personality than flaw. This is a red that makes you believe in yourself again — like maybe you  could  finish your taxes, text your ex with dignity, and still have the energy to dismantle late-stage capitalism in a well-cut blazer. It’s the ...

Wine Name: Summer in a Bottle  Rosé, 2023 Producer:  Wölffer  Estate Price: $19.99 Date of Purchase: April 14, 2025 Store: Total Wine Location:  Old Country Rd Ste A, Westbury, NY  This is by far my favorite bottle of wine. I was introduced to this wine years ago while catching up with my best friend. I usually keep a bottle or two in the house since it's perfect for a girl's wine night. The taste matches its gorgeous label, making it the perfect item to add to a gift. Between research papers, late-night study sessions, and the relentless push toward graduation, finding a moment of calm can feel impossible. But one golden evening, with a bottle of Wölffer Estate’s Summer in a Bottle Rosé and a few good friends, I found it. - Danielle 😝  Taste  5/5 - light with hints of strawberry and raspberry 🥘Vibe  4/5  - low-key, great for a wine night with friends 💸Value  5/5 - low-cost and good taste 🍇Dryness  3/5 - medium-dry, not too...

Wine name: C' est Moi Producer:  Audrey Speleers Price:  $23.99  Date purchased: April 9, 2025 Store:  Cellar 53 Location: 785 10th Avenue, New York, NY 10019 C’est Moi Sauvignon Blanc is the type of wine you grab when you’re already 10 minutes late to a rooftop hangout and need a white that won’t embarrass you. It’s light, fruity, and crisp — but not in that overly sweet way. Think mango, gooseberry, peach, and a little passion fruit, balanced with just enough acidity to keep it interesting. It’s refreshing without being basic. Pair It With: - Thai takeout or sushi night -Sitting in the park pretending it’s already summer -A solo Netflix binge with some herbed popcorn -Stefi 😊Taste:  4/5 – tropical and clean 🍇Vibe:  4.2/5 – easygoing, picnic-approved 😳Label Coolness:  3/5 – minimal, but we’ve seen worse 💵Value:  4/5 – under $25 and very drinkable 🍡Dryness:  3.5/5 – medium-dry Final Verdict:  ✅  PASS THE GLASS No drama, no regr...

Wine Name: Josh Cellars  Rosé, 2023 Producer: Josh Cellars Price: $10.99 Date of Purchase: April 7, 2025 Store: Total Wine Location:  Old Country Rd Ste A Westbury, NY   I recently picked up a bottle of  Josh Cellars Rosé , expecting something light, maybe a little sweet — the typical profile we’ve all come to expect from most Rosés. But this one? Definitely took a different route. Let’s just say it’s not my favorite Rosé — but it’s an interesting one. I tried the wine while eating dinner at home with my love. We were sipping and eating a home-cooked chicken meal while conversing. What sets Josh Cellars Rosé apart is its dryness. It leans far away from the super-sweet, candy-flavored wines that tend to dominate the pink wine aisle. Instead, it’s crisp, clean, and a little restrained. Think strawberry and white peach with a subtle citrus finish. That dryness is honestly what makes it stand out — in both good and not-so-good ways. If you're looking for a Rosé to sip po...
