Rosé all day!
Summer has turned to autumn, in the northern hemisphere, meaning the North Shore of Oahu is about to get cracking. The seven-mile miracle featuring waves so famous, so wildly well-known, that even grandma in Dubuque is familiar. Waimea Bay, The Banzai Pipeline, Off The Wall and Rocky Rights. Surfers from around the world, attempting to prove their worth, steel spines and gird loins and descend upon the island grim faced and ready for battle.
Though this year, a giddy new crop is on the way.
And you are, no doubt, familiar with the “rosé all day” craze that has swept through the female population during the past decade. Pink wine become the absolute must. But did you know that the brand that really kicked it all off came out of France’s Provence from the winery Chateau D’esclans? Yes, it’s Whispering Angel label became de rigueur at every bachelorette party, every baby shower, every sweet sixteen (don’t tell mom!) and, starting last week, every Pipeline Masters.
Yes, Whispering Angel is partnering with Turtle Bay to offer special cabanas at the resort. Per luxury title Forbes:
The Whispering Angel Cabanas will be a celebration of the luxury goods powerhouse, world-class rosé, and the spirit of aloha that is carried throughout the resort. The Whispering Angel Cabanas are just feet from Turtle Bay Resort’s scenic coastline with a premium view of the surf and sunsets. Open to resort guests and the public, the elevated cabanas will come with a bottle of Whispering Angel Rosé and complimentary light bites, including a fruit arrangement, sourced from the resort’s very own 468-acre Kuilima Farm – that’s a definite wow feature — and artisanal cheese and charcuterie spread. Cabana guests will have access to an exclusive menu featuring additional iconic brands from the MH portfolio, including Ruinart, Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial, and Dom Pérignon. The sommelier-selected libations will be offered either by the glass, bottle, or as a cocktail starting at $15.
Mic.
Drop.
But can you imagine da boyz getting on the rosé before paddling out? I’d imagine a whole new lineup vibe.
Cute.
Which professional, do you think, would best exemplify the “rosé all day” spirit?
Good choice.

lay some cable dude. I just did. see above
Her father was an alcoholic…and so was her daughter’s uncle…
Isn’t the norm for everyone to have an alcoholic Uncle?
And my kid’s Uncle just got his first permanent job…with benefits…
And my brother is in Memphis ice fishing….selling those windows…and those things that salesman sale…cold beer and …? Sardinos…!
A rite of passage…a memorial night bonding with friends….
Forget business…remember a good time…
Winos are true to their brothers…in times of duress… or war…
Or Wall Street…or drugs…or prostitution…
But what is really tough…is keeping it in the family…
Without slandering…the Uncle…who really is a good guy…
That contributes…only to be slain…by family gossip…
Worse than liberal columns…no defense…just say “LOVE” once or twice…
I’ve heard first testimony it’s the fire bell syndrome…a fire man thang…
Don’t know whether it’s a real emergency…or just a false alarm….
Drives a man insane…
Or driven to drink…
Or simply to make it home from work…it’s a personal thang…
an excerpt from Wino by TN circa 2009
Far out. I can feel the piercing mid-session hangover from here.
Love how a post about Rosé gets the natives below the line super horny. Very entertaining!
It’s ok, cry is free
Hard Kombutcha or Nothing! “Those Guys are F@&$!”
wake me up with they link up with Zima
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Oh shit. When I was going to school in Santa Cruz in 84 liquor Barn had that stuff on sale all the time. Since I was a broke student I would buy twelve packs of it.
Serious stomach ache memories.
84″? Zima started being sold in 1993.
Some other wine cooler type drink then
Ok, I want to join the clown club.
Rosy, obviously
Cider with Rosé by Laurie Lee
Whispering Angel and Turtle Bay is a perfect partnership.
Rose’ is to real wine what Turtle Bay is to good surf breaks: what one resorts to when they don’t know any better, even though much higher quality is only a short drive away.
Might be one of the worst alcohol fueled buzzes known to man or womankind
I think most commenters on here would drink her bath water.
Count me in!
Does this mean that Chas could get beaten up there again?
Might as well get neutered while they’re sipping on rosé
Ross’e Williams for definitely!
Brilliant!

Not one sentence you’ve ever written contains everything we need to know, you pretentious clown.
Mr Selfoff I am troubled by your labeling Mr Meoff as a pretentious clown knowing full well he is only pretentious BUT not a clown. And not unlike many of us on this site he delivers well reasoned trolling.
been a couple of new commenters the last few days who seem uniquely obsessed w/ jerk off symbolism. Either KVF had evil twins or some real life trolls have invaded the hamlet.
Rose’ and Surfing, a story.
Winos Not Surfing (see above)
give me moscato over a rose all day long … try the Saracco. It will tickle your tastebuds and make you dream of lazy mornings soul arching knee high Italian peelers.*
*(“The balance of this wine is masterful with zippy acidity that keeps the wine lively at all times and each glass as refreshing as the first.” – 93/100, Wine Enthusiast)
I think you’ve just described the main subject matter of the next 3-4 months of BG.
Brilliant foresight! Wine reviews are a copy n pasters dream.
probably at top of Chicago SEO guy’s list
agree and added a cut n’ paste for your entertainment above.
That is truly wonderful to know but does it pair well with shrooms? I have my doubts as few alcohols pair as well with shrooms as tequila. But in this ever softening and emasculating world, why not rosé?
tbh, the missus loves it, and she’s sucked me into appreciating it. Then again, she also peeled me off a steady diet of Dylan and grunge and punk, and now I’m psyched when a new Turnpike Troubadours album hits. So maybe take all my recommendations with a healthy grain of salt.
Mine as well. Didn’t realize the Turnpike Troubadours were from Elo’s home state.
always associated w/ TX bands in my mind so had totally forgotten that connection … good point. Might have to delete from the playlist. Stick with Midland and Shane Smith. My 18 yr old self would be horrified.
Makes sense knowing the TX music scene has been legit dating back to the 50s. SHHH, I was comparing Nick Lowe’s cover of Poor Side of Town to the orig by Johnny Rivers last night. Something my 18 yr old self wouldn’t have likely done…
Just takes a few decades to develop discerning taste.
operating keyboards yes. operating heavy machinery no. see above excerpt.
I’ve operated cars(back in the 80s) with that flowing through my veins and I may be surprised I’m still here to talk about it.
