Rosé at Silver Trident Winery
There are lots of reasons to stop at Silver Trident’s tasting room, the decor, the friendly staff, and the tasting room dog Keith Richards, but my favorite reason to stop is for the Apollo’s Foley Rosé. A local favorite, Silver Trident’s Rosé of Pinot Noir tickles your senses with notes of red raspberry, watermelon and fresh-baked rhubarb pie. An easy drinker, for the warm summer days just around the corner, this Rosé promises to please even the pickiest wine drinker.
