 Café Rouge, Think Pink XI
Wednesday Evening, August 8

We’re hoping for a warm Provençal evening on August 8 for the eleventh transformation of Café Rouge into Café Rosé. The expert Rouge chefs are preparing a summer cassoulet with tomato confit, a large vegetable aïoli, lamb mixed grill, classic bouillabaisse, and more paired with an array of our favorite rosés. The menu is à la carte so you can sip a flute of sparkling Bugey with a starter at the bar or work your way through a flight of Bandols with our housemade charcuterie followed by an entrée. At least ten different rosés will be available by the glass and bottle.

For the second year in a row we’ll be pouring wine in the Wine Lands tent at San Francisco’s Outside Lands music festival. Enjoy some of our fine French and Italian selections over the course of the three days while taking in the epic line-up of this year’s musical acts. So if you’re planning on attending the fest, stop by and pay our friendly retail and wholesale staff a visit for a glass of something cool and refreshing. In the meantime, ponder the question—what wine pairs best with Metallica?
