The selection process took place during several Rosé happy hours courtesy of our local Whole Foods special on LE PETIT BALTHAZAR, CINSAULT ROSÉ 2023.¹ This rosé is fresh, easy drinking, fruity, naturally light in alcohol. Strong strawberries and blueberries, making a fresh and fruity attack but manages to stay balanced, dry not too sweet. Awesome!  Plus, the Cinsault rosé is lower in alcohol than others so the work could be continued.

At $8.99 - ($8.09 on sale) there was plenty to go around on without breaking our Summer Friday budget in May. Be on the lookout at your Whole Foods – it won’t last long so try a bottle for your next brunch or happy hour.

But we digress, back to the art.

Endless Summer Vibes Collection

There is nothing better than getting that Zen feeling you have at the beach. Recently, the art.Drops team curated a summer print collection to bring that same vibe to your home. A print collection dedicated to Summer Beach Fun.

We wanted the collection to embrace the light sunny days and the moody misty morning, the sunsets, the rhythm of the waves, the power of the ocean, the pull of the moon and the changing scenes, and colors.

The collection ranges from solo surfers to best friends, to waves, and sun sets. The mood is always peaceful but sometimes with an underlying challenge. The one constant factor to become a part of the series was the mesmerizing power of the artwork to capture the viewer and transport them to somewhere else or a conversation starter for friends and family. And of course, we added some colorful aerial views that take you to remote beach scenes. This collection has something for every room from the spa bathroom to a living room to a home office.

Wine Notes:

The inspiration for our Endless Summer Vibes curation happy hour was a rose from France, Le Petit Balthatzar. It is worth a buy for any event. If you miss it at Whole Foods, buy it online here

Pierrick Harang makes LE PETIT BALTHAZAR, CINSAULT ROSÉ 2023 and has five generations of wine merchants and oenologists in his family. Pierrick's father worked as the head winemaker of the famous champagne house GHMumm.

Pierrick made his first own wines in 2007 and today works closely with the cellars of Les Celliers Jean d'Alibert. According to Pierrick's philosophy, wine represents its own time, and that is why he prefers screw caps in his bottles. Pierrick produces up to 900,000 bottles a year under its own name.

Pierrick Harang's cellar is in Perpignan, southern France, in the warm Languedoc-Roussillon wine region. The Le Petit Balthazar wines he produces are uncharacteristically low alcohol for the region, approachable and particularly enjoyable. Due to the lower alcohol content, the wines also have fewer calories than average!
