Andy Says: "Public Palate Subscribers might remember when Bridget and I had the chance to taste with Pullus Winemaker Maks Kadivec, unforgetable , both for his wines and his larger than life personality. While his "Halozan White and Orange Wines" hit the MetroWines shelves first, his Rosé has finally arrived. Why is this bottle the wine of the week? Because it might be my favorite rosé of the summer: crisp and refreshing with aromas of strawberries ad cream and flavors of peach, strawberry and orange zest. At just 11.5% ALC, this wine is perfect for brunches or an afternoon splash. No nap required."
