Rose Day
with Lexis Gris
at Cinque Wine & Deli
Rose Day… is more of a Rosé Day at Cinque!
As Valentine’s Week kicks off on February 7, Rose Day sets the tone for a season of romance, passion, and affection. It’s a day when lovers, friends, and admirers alike come together to express their deepest feelings through the timeless symbol of love—the rose! Whether it’s the vibrant hues of a bouquet or the elegance of a single rose, this day marks the beginning of a week-long celebration of all things love that ends on February 14.
To celebrate Rose Day in the most flavorful way, we’ve created the perfect pairing for the newest rosé on our wine list, Lexis Gris from Zacharias Winery. We’ve used pasteli as the base, laid with velvety, creamy Tsalafouti cheese, fresh strawberries and lime zest. A drizzle of balsamic and Greek extra virgin olive oil from the oldest olive grove in Europe, brings everything together for a harmonious, sweet and savory bite that complements the crisp and citrusy notes of Lexis Gris.
It’s the perfect way to elevate your Rose Day celebrations —whether you’re celebrating with someone special or simply indulging in the pleasure of great wine and food with us! Seek. It. out!
But what if you want to take a bottle home this Valentine’s?
Lexis Gris is a sight to behold with its pale salmon color and gray highlights. Then come all the intense aromas of citrus and small white flowers in the nose. It is crispy on the palate, with citrus flavors, rose petals and pink grapefruit. You might even get some hints of white pepper, lemon blossom and rose water. It has an exceptional, long finish with quite a pleasant acidity. It might remind your taste buds of Rose loukoumi, if you’ve ever tried that!
Lexis Gris goes well with Asian cuisine. You might also want to accompany this wine with a seafood risotto, sushi, salmon fillet or a fresh salad. If you’re making a cheese board, you can match it up with spicy white cheeses. Dishes with mango and pink grapefruit are also a good match.
Of course, we’d be elated to guide you through our curated selection of Greek indigenous grape varieties in person. After all, Cinque Wine & Deli is all about creating connections over a glass of good Greek wine, discussing the sensory extravaganza over rows of glasses ready for wine flights and answering your questions with our expertise and experience!
Visit us today and let us whisk you away on a gastronomic adventure through the treasures of Greece. Cheers to good food, good company, and unforgettable memories! Yamas!
