During our recent glamping adventure where we stayed in some premium campers in the middle of some gorgeous redwoods, we brought along Day Owl Rosé to sip on either during happy hour, dinner, or even brunch! Being on a weekend getaway where plans were loosely made and constantly changing, we wanted to bring something that would work at any time of day. Something effortless and easy. Plus, we needed to pack light, so we needed to be smart about our choice of drink to bring along.
Since rosé is so versatile, it was my go-to choice of wine.
Day Owl is a premium rosé with a slightly bolder flavor than your average rosé. I noticed that this rosé has a deeper pink-orange shade to it versus other rosés I have had in the past.
There’s a distinct dry finish to Day Owl, which gives this rosé a crisp, bold taste that really sets it apart from the average rosé. In my opinion, that crisp dry finish is what makes it so enjoyable to sip on its own. Some rosés can be so light– the flavor just washes away in seconds leaving more to be desired. I never felt that with Day Owl which is flavor-packed with character.
The bold profile of Day Owl is enlivened by so many flavor notes: dark cherry, dried strawberry, plum, lavender, and vanilla. There are even hints of floral red fruit and orange zest.
Day Owl is made primarily with Barbera grapes, which are a popular red grape known for their beautiful deep color, low levels of tannins, and high levels of acid. All the fruit for Day Owl is sourced from select vineyards in California—from the Central Coast, Paso Robles, and Madera County. Barbera grapes are meant to be enjoyed young, so be sure to seize the moment and enjoy a glass of rosé.
Since we were on vacation to relax among the redwoods, I thought it would be a great time to seize the moment and make some Rosé-Soaked Gummy Bears!
They’re crazy easy to make and can be ready in as little as a couple of hours. All you need is a 1 lb. bag of gummy bears (I bought grapefruit gummy bears which is why they are pink), some rosé, and a bowl in which to soak everything.
Just add the gummy bears to the bowl, and pour some Day Owl over the top until the bears are completely covered. The gummy bears will start to soak up the rosé and grow to about twice their original size. You can leave them in the fridge to soak if you’d like to keep them chilled, or you can leave them out—it’s really your preference. Even when the bears are done are really your preference. For a chewy consistency, soak for less time, and for a softer more gelatin-like consistency, soak for 8-10 hours or overnight.
I loved having the gummy bears around as a sweet little snack. I would just graze and eat a gummy bear or two, go do something adventurous, and then come back for another couple of gummy bears. Just make sure to keep them away from children!
I loved that the flavor of the Day Owl still came through in the taste of the gummies!
Rosé-soaked gummy bears are PERFECT for a party or a girls’ night, and I’ll plan to be make them again soon!
Day Owl is a premium rosé and costs $15 per a bottle. It’s well worth the price, especially if you’re a fan of dry wines and enjoy celebrating or having a fun time with your friends.
Be sure to give it a try!
