Description

Amali Mediterranean restaurant in NYC’s Upper East Side is having an entire summer celebration of Rosé, featuring Rosé wine flights from around the world, Rosé happy hour, and Rosé cocktails. As mentioned earlier in this article, Rosé was most likely the drink of the ancient Greeks, so it’s only fitting that a Greek Rosé should make the list. Made with the Xinomavro grape in Northwestern Greece, Kir-Yianni Akakies Sparkling Rosé is a darker wine with hues of cherry and ripe strawberry.
