One of Jeff’s New Year’s resolutions was to have more dinner parties.  Now that we have a house we love here in DC, this is one of the easiest goals we’ve made.  It’s so great to host friends and family over a great meal and have a fun night in together.  Now that it’s summer, rose is a must when hosting a summer dinner party!

Host a Summer Rose Party

I recently partnered with winc because I love the concept of having wines delivered straight to your door.  Living in the city, I usually walk to get my groceries so carrying wine home is not always in the cards.  Also, it’s such a treat to find that box on your doorstep at the end of a long day!

For my first order, I answered a few questions so winc can better understand my palate. Like, how much salt do you like?  Is your ideal dessert sweet or savory?  Then, the wines are selected for you.  Easy peasy!  If you want to switch out a bottle, or want more of something you know you want, you can edit accordingly.  This Summer Water rose was in my order and I was so excited to kick off the summer with it! If this sounds amazing to you as well, winc is offering a deal to you!
