A Rosé by any other name...

One more time in case you missed it

There is simply the Rosé; it is perfect every moment of its existence. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mea Culpa

My apologies if you already read a similar post on Sunday but as you know first-hand, or read in the news, we got hammered this past weekend by a Level 4 storm and an atmospheric river that lived up to its name. We had buckets of rain and several power outages where I live in Sonoma, and the Internet was down for hours. So, it’s quite possible many of you never got this post. At least that’s what our Internet metrics are showing.

Therefore, please humor me and put up with this condensed resend. I’m really proud of our just released 2023 Rosé of Zinfandel and I want to be sure everyone has a chance to try it. And to those of you who did get this post and have already procured your share, Happy Valentine’s Day!

Our spin on a dozen rosés for Valentine’s Day

Tradition has it that nothing says ‘I love you’ more on Valentines Day than a dozen roses. Why not double-down this year and treat your Valentine to a dozen rosés vinted from old-vine Zinfandel and labeled with a breathtakingly beautiful rose painting. And if a case is too much, a single bottle of my Rosé—like a single perfect rose—delivered with a hand-written love poem, could have a powerful impact!

The beautiful rose on our 2023 Rosé of Zinfandel label was painted in pastel by Sonoma-based artist Deborah Tancik, who is also an accomplished green thumb. She selected this particular bloom as the model for our label from photographs of hundreds of spectacular roses she has grown over the years.

A case (12 bottles) of Tiny Vineyards Wine Company’s 2023 Rosé of Zinfandel pretty much supplants that customary Valentine’s Day dozen, and won’t wilt prematurely, fail to open, or never really smell good. It will, however, dance a tango on your taste buds while suffusing your senses with an aromatic epiphany—all the while looking better on the table than a vase full of those discount florist’s specials. In fact, you’ll probably end up using each bottle, with its spectacular label, as a single rose vase in its own right!

Here’s our idea of the dozen rosés you should give your Valentine. Honestly? They would prefer it over the florist’s version. And it will last a whole lot longer, and make them really love you back every time they see/smell/taste this beautiful arrangement!

Our 2023 Rosé of Zinfandel is dry, bright and refreshing—and delightfully delicious with light notes of strawberry, cherry, melon, citrus, and flowers. Rosé is the quintessential wine for teasing spring into summer, so our Valentines Day dozen is perfectly timed!

The one thing we can’t control is the cost of shipping. But we can absorb it if you buy enough volume in a single order. And it’s not like it goes bad! There’s nothing better than having a perfect bottle or two of refreshing Rosé on hand come those long, hot, dog days of summer.

Your best price per bottle is to buy this Rosé in a 12-bottle case, which comes with a nice discount equal to a free bottle, and FREE SHIPPING. That’s enough wine for a romantic Valentine’s Day gesture, and periodic reminders through spring and into summer! You may, of course, purchase the wine in smaller amounts like half-cases, three bottle packs or even a single bottle—and please do, if only to taste it. But lower volumes do incur shipping charges.

If you decide to purchase some 2023 Rosé of Zinfandel for Valentine’s Day, please do so right away so that we have enough time to get it to you. Also, I only made 47 cases of this wondrous libation, so it’s likely to sell out quickly. To get yours, just go to tinyvineyards.com right now!

Again, many thanks and much gratitude!
