Pour Decisions
Wine Day
08.27.2019
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!
Rapp Red Wine Frojo Sorbet
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.

JEAN-CLAUDE LAPALU
Beaujolais Villages, 2018. Light-bodied and fruity, both charcuterie and roast chicken are meant to be paired with this bottle.
ES OKAY
Portugese Red Blend, 2017. Fruity, salty and imminentantly drinkable, this pairs best with a soft cheese or a good friend.
TERRES BLONDES
Gamay, 2018. This earthy, red-fruited mineral pour tag-teams with a salad or anything herb-y and light.
VINCENT PARIS
