Wine Day
8.27.2019
August 28th is National Red Wine day, but it’s always #WineTime here at ROW DTLA. Read on to discover all the fun red wine finds, gift boxes and a guilt-free wine-infused dessert at the Collective!
Frojo. A combo of “frozen” and “rojo” (“red” in Spanish) is about to level up your brunch game. Rappahannock Oyster Bar’s newest addition to its menu—the red wine Frojo sorbet—is a blend of Jardesca Red Apertivo, strawberries, honey and rose water that’s so good, it may just ruin traditional sangria for you forever. Served up dessert-style as a smooth sorbet, this icy cool treat is equivalent to one glass of red wine. So yes, you can definitely have two servings.
And while you’re indulging Frojo-style, don’t forget to pair one of Rappahannock’s signature lobster rolls with some healthy sips of Bonterra’s canned Young Red—an aromatic blend of red roses, fresh fig, berries and orange peel.

Of course. Which is why The Manufactory couldn’t resist pulling a few of their favorites from their wine shop, pictured above with descriptions below – so that you’re that much closer to a perfect pour decision this National Red Wine Day.
Beaujolais Villages, 2018. Light-bodied and fruity, both charcuterie and roast chicken are meant to be paired with this bottle.
Portugese Red Blend, 2017. Fruity, salty and imminentantly drinkable, this pairs best with a soft cheese or a good friend.
Gamay, 2018. This earthy, red-fruited mineral pour tag-teams with a salad or anything herb-y and light.
Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah, 2017. Bright, tangy and easy-going, this is perfect for that pork roast or burger night.
