We served this dish with Sea Shell Cellars Grenache Rosé. This direct press rosé spent minimal time on skins to produce the beautifully light Provencal style rosé. Aromas of stone fruit and minerality along with its strawberry and white peach flavors make this a rosé worthy of your glass any time of year.
