Our Top Roses of the Summer from over 92 tasted LIVE!

It's full on SUMMER weather so we broke out the rose.

But in true Carl's Wine Club style, we did it LIVE and tasted 92 roses plus a couple of unlisted tank samples, for over five hours on Saturday July 6, 2024.

The total value of the roses open was $2,617.36 including tax, for an average of $28.45 per bottle. So we could better compare 'apples to apples' we used the winery-direct prices including tax throughout this post.

You can see a full list of the wines and scores here.

A huge thank you to each of the wineries who participated by sending a bottle of their Rose!
