 WHAT:
Loire Valley Wines' Rosés de Loire (AOC) and ROSÉ D'ANJOU(AOC) snag the top deck-and by our count-pour the most delicious vins (out of over 150 selections!!!)-on the multi-tiered Hornblower Cruise boat... a destination for the quintessential summer drink-ROSÉ---three night of excursions---with sponsors including WINE ENTHUSIAST.
The Rose´s Brothers...sweeter or more dry-all are affordable refreshing acids/minerality, and pairs with food, beautifully-the ideal summer wines---the perfect "pinks"from the "garden of France."
