Father's Day Gift Guide 2025: Pink Wine
It's more traditional to gift a rosé wine for Mother's Day, but there are plenty of dads (mine, included!) who prefer pink wines. Rosé all day is even better in June's hotter weather than May, and it's a wine style that's perfect for sipping beside a grill. Here are some fantastic wines to give your dad (but don't tell mine - he needs to be surprised).
LEOS Cuvée Augusta Rosé, $18.99
This is a smooth, smooth rosé with a beautiful nose, brimming with floral notes and white wine is crafted with three grapes: Grenache, which gives it structure and aromatics; Bourboulenc, which brings a roundness to the wine, and Vermentino, which gives it liveliness and a fresh finish.
This is a fun rosé to drink.
