Our sommeliers suggest

PÉTALE DE ROSE

Provence, France

Pétale de Rose is a fruity, light rosé from Provence, and it's pure picnic freshness. It goes well with the basil, parsley and mint in the salad, and its lightness lets the salty feta, the pecans and the touch of maple in the dressing do the talking. Nothing heavy on the plate, nothing heavy in the glass. Perfect on the patio! See the product

SAISON DU LOUP, LOUP ROUGE, 4.5%

Rustic, herbaceous and spicy, this Belgian Saison beer with lemon, clove and thyme aromas will be paired well with the spices of the salad. This pairing will be so refreshing on a sunny day. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
