La Vie En Rose?
This tribute celebrates Dolly Parton and her signature love for pink, drawing a beautiful parallel to her legendary French counterpart, Edith Piaf. Piaf’s most acclaimed chanson, La Vie En Rose, literally translates to “Life in Pink”— or more fittingly, “seeing the world through rose-colored glasses”. While it is heartbreaking to lose such a beloved icon, we choose to see the world in pink, knowing that her timeless music will stay with us forever.
Whether you hum Working 9-5 or La Vie en Rose, we share with you four delicious rosés from Dubrovnik-Neretva County – three are from the Komarna Appellation, right next to the Pelješac Bridge, and one from the Dingač and Postup vineyards on the Pelješac Peninsula.
As with other bundles, this La Vie En Rose Bundle is available at a 15% discount.
- Volarević Plavac Mali Rosé La Chic! – this is one of the palest Plavac Mali rosés – the grapes are first cooled to a temperature of about 40°F, then go for a gentle press. This rosé expresses the tender side of robust Plavac Mali with a very delicate nose with pronounced fruity aromas, including strawberry.
- Korta Katarina Plavac Mali Rosé – From vineyards in Dingač and Postup on the Pelješac Peninsula, Korta Katarina rosé is a salmon color with intense and attractive scents of red orange and wild strawberry. Its taste is lively and juicy, completely dry, and exudes freshness. Elegant and measured, expressive on the mouth and nose.
- Rizman Rusula (old name for a rose flower) – Made from Plavac Mali with up to 10% of Syrah, this is a modern, lively and sophisticated style of rosé that shows a vibrant salmon pink color. Aromas combine refined and subtle notes of red fruits with freshly baked brioche displaying delicate yeasty complexity. On the palate it is dry, beautifully balanced with an elegant creamy texture, followed by a refreshing finish.
- Terra Madre Rosé – Plavac Mali 60%, Syrah 40%. This rosé is fresh and light with a pleasant fruity aroma dominated by berries, raspberries and currants, with a few herbal tones. Plavac Mali delights the palate gently, and the flutter and light drinkability come from Syrah.
The food pairing recommendations for all of these wines include sipping the wine on its own or pairing with salads, white seafood, and light pasta dishes, as well as with lighter appetizers, such as risotto with asparagus and charcuterie.

*** Summer Temp Control Shipping Protocol in effect ***
Due to high summer temperatures, we are using Temperature Control shipping protocols when appropriate. In some cases, this may delay shipments up to a week,
For some states adjacent to our fulfillment center in Windsor, CA, if in the Temp Control protocol, orders are packed in thermal protection shipping boxes with ice packs, and are shipped normally via FedEx Ground. The ice packs are effective for up to 3 days. These shipments will experience no delay.
For states in Central and Eastern US Regions in the Temp Control Protocol, we are using our own refrigerated trucks from the warehouse in Windsor to regional hubs. (Unfortunately, FedEx does not use refrigerated trucks for cross-country Ground shipments.) These orders are packed in thermal protection shipping boxes and receive their FedEx label and tracking number at the warehouse, but FedEx does not see them and initiate tracking until the order is handed over to FedEx at the regional hub. At the time of the handover, FedEx scans them into their tracking system and tracking is activated. Ice packs are inserted into the orders, and they should be delivered locally in 1-2 days.
Our refrigerated trucks leave Windsor once a week, usually on Fridays. Order submission cutoff for these trucks is noon ET on Thursdays. This protocol results in shipping delays of up to a week. If your shipment is being shipped in this manner, the shipping method at checkout will say “Temp Control to FedEx with ice pack”.
Any orders sent via FedEx 2-Day or Overnight air express (extra charge options that can be selected at checkout) are packed in thermal protection shipping boxes with ice packs, and are shipped normally via FedEx with no delay.
************
Our default shipping method is FedEx Ground to most states from our warehouse and fulfillment center in Windsor, California. Orders are typically fulfilled 1-2 business days following the placement of the order, and take 2-7 business days to be delivered, depending on the shipping distance from our fulfillment warehouse in Windsor, California, and whether or not temperature-controlled shipping is used.
We offer 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air as options in some regions for more rapid delivery (check the shipping options dropdown menu when checking out). Extra charges apply.
