Ice in Wine
Every summer, someone asks if it's "okay" to put ice in their wine. The answer? Absolutely.
In fact, the French have been doing it for years. Along the Mediterranean coast, particularly around Saint-Tropez, La Piscine ("the swimming pool") became the unofficial drink of hot afternoons: a generous pour of chilled rosé over ice in a large balloon glass. Legend has it that actress Brigitte Bardot dubbed it La Piscine because the oversized glass looked like a swimming pool.
Will the ice dilute the wine a little? Sure. That's kind of the point when it's 92 degrees outside and you're sitting in the sun pretending you have nowhere to be.
Chillable Reds/ BBQ
Trizanne Signature Wines Cinsault
Light on its feet but packed with juicy red fruit. Give it a slight chill and pair it with smoked chicken thighs, grilled pork tenderloin, or ribs dusted with a sweet-and-spicy paprika rub. If you use paprika in your potato salad… this wine is your BFF.
Christina Kuhlbar Chillable Red
Fresh, crunchy, and wildly easy to drink. Perfect alongside smash burgers, grilled sausages, or flank steak seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and herbs.
Beulah Violetta "Stesso Stesso" Rosso
Bright, savory, and made for backyard hangs. Try it with herb-marinated lamb skewers, grilled pork chops, or Tri- Tip with a Mediterranean-inspired rub featuring oregano, fennel seed, and cracked pepper.
Domaine Lapierre "Raisins Gaulois" Vin de France Rouge
The ultimate picnic-to-BBQ red—vibrant, juicy, and dangerously crushable. A natural match for burgers, hot dogs, and dry-rubbed baby back ribs with brown sugar, paprika, and a touch of cayenne. Don’t forget the macaroni salad!
Spritz To Go
“Pretty in Pink”, now available to take home. We've bottled up one of our favorite summer wine spritzes so you can keep the good times going beyond the NV wine bar. Made with strawberry, fennel, fresh lemon and tiki bitters, all it needs is some Frassinelli Prosecco Rosé and a splash of sparkling water. Easy to make, even easier to drink. Cheers!
