It’s 97 degrees outside, and you know what that means for The Wine Pig, PINK!

Mulderbosch Rose of Cabernet from South Africa is a gorgeous, summery treat that bursts with strawberry, cherry and a light zing of pepperiness. The finish is long and fresh, making this the perfect chilly cure for the dog days of summer!
