Craig Palmer and Allen Habel, co-founders of the Experience Rosé
Today. Experience Rosé brand, which aims to celebrate all things
rosé. The new brand will host an array of events in 2018, all
honoring the lauded “pink drink,” with the Experience Rosé: The
2018 Competition kicking things off in the Spring. Focusing
exclusively on domestic and international rosé wines and directed
by globally-renowned wine expert and educator Debra Del
Fiorentino, the competition will take place on Wednesday, April
18 at Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg. The Experience Rosé brand
will offer a collection of curated consumer events beyond the
competition as well, including The Great Rosé Pairing for Summer,
to be held on Saturday, June 16, at The CIA at Copia in Napa, and
The Great Rosé Pairing for Thanksgiving, which will take place
Friday, October 19, at Jaxon Keys Winery and Distillery in
Hopland.


Experience Rosé is all about providing extraordinary experiences
for everyone who revels in our passion for Rosé and its infinite
possibilities all year-long. Foodie to newbie. Wine maker to
chef. Sponsor to volunteer. Because every day pairs better with
Rosé. Fill your glass with us. We promise you a fulfilling
experience that will be personal, passionate and perfect.


Celebrating a wide range of rosé winemaking styles and taking
place on Wed, Apr 18 at Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg,
Experience Rose: The 2018 Competition will showcase the best of
the best from both domestic and international producers in dry,
sparkling and sweet categories.


“We’re excited to introduce these new elements around the Wine
Competition,” states Del Fiorentino. “Our goal is to create an
event that is beneficial to both our wine competition entrants
and the attendees to the two consumer events, as we want everyone
to have the best experience possible.”


The Brand will introduce two new wine events to the general
public. On Saturday, June 16, 2018, Experience Rosé will debut
The Great Rosé Pairing for Summer, to be held at The CIA at Copia
in Napa. Event-goers will have the opportunity to sip winning
wines paired with gourmet bites inspired by cuisine from the four
major rosé producing regions (France, Italy, Spain and the United
States/California). The bites will be prepared by teams of CIA
students directed by Lars Kronmark, Professor of Culinary Arts at
The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley.
This curated event will also include special arts programming and
Experience Rosé Talks – an educational series featuring
presentations, panel discussions and pairings.
