La Nuit en Rosé is the “world’s first food and wine festival dedicated to rosé wine” with rosé themed events in Los Angeles, Miami and London. In June they host the mega rosé event on the Hornblower yacht in Manhattan which features over 100 rosé wines and is one of the most fun wine events of the year. This past Saturday, they threw a rosé winter garden party.
The event was held at the Art Beam gallery on 540 West 21st Street on the far west side in Chelsea, Manhattan. The venue is across the street from the Chelsea Piers sports facilities and is a brick wall-lined industrial space that was made to look like, no surprise, an outdoor garden. They poured about half of what was poured at the Summer event but that was still plenty of wine to keep everyone happy. The event was open to the public with an afternoon and an evening session. I attended the evening session which soon became filled with a well-dressed crowd enjoying a night out drinking rosé wines.
