Never judge a book by its cover. When you take a sip of this lovely lady, your palate is filled with juicy fruit, but not sticky sweetness. The fruit does the talking, not the sugar.


Coppola Winery’s Sofia Rosé (About $19) from Monterey County will remind you of the popular dry Rosés served in France. ..this means you get a nice dry wine that plays well with many foods both summer and winter. Expect fresh strawberries up front with a hint of lavender leading to juicy flavors of cherry, raspberry, citrus peel ending with a delightful kiss of spice on the finish. Available at most wine shops, there’s nothing stopping you from serving this wine.
