Suggested Wines:
SPARKLING & VIVACIOUS CRISP ROSÉS and WHITES
As vivacious as Doris Day, these wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, but are always on the lighter and brighter end of the spectrum and never feature oaky flavors. These tangy wines of refreshment make ideal aperitifs and are remarkably versatile food partners.

VOLUPTUOUS RICH WHITES
As voluptuous as Marilyn Monroe, these heavier whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit and most also feature the added flavor complexity of new oak. Almost all of these opulent wines are quite dry and fermented in oak barrels, but a handful are lusciously- sweet late-harvested dessert wines.

ELEGANT LIGHT-BODY REDS
As elegant as Audrey Hepburn, these are mid-weight reds made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics like red Burgundy. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share the lean, tart and dry European-inspired flavor profile that prioritizes food-friendliness.
