Weekly Tasting: The Return of Patio Season!

As the summer recedes, join us to taste the perfect patio wines for the glorious Palm Springs winter, courtesy of the experts, the French! While the rest of the country is packing digging out its winter sweaters, here in Palm Springs we're doing quite the opposite and getting back outside! The temperatures have dropped, the patios are back in business, and it's finally time for long lunches, alfresco dinners and those glorious desert evenings we've been waiting for all summer. And where better to look for a little inspiration than the South of France? From the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence to the rugged hills of the Southern Rhône, this corner of France has perfected the art of outdoor living, accompanied, naturally, by some rather fabulous wines. This Thursday, we're pouring four wines that are practically made for our favorite time of year in Palm Springs. Château Pas du Cerf – "Dames Nature" Rosé, Côtes de Provence A fresh, lively expression of Provence rosé, with delicate red berries, citrus and a lovely mineral edge. Bright, elegant and wonderfully refreshing, this is the sort of wine that makes an afternoon on the patio stretch well into the evening. Château Pas du Cerf – "Le Merle" Rosé, Côtes de Provence Another rosé from the same estate, but with a different personality. A little more rounded and expressive, with ripe strawberry, peach and subtle floral notes. A great opportunity to discover just how much variety there can be within Provence's famous pink wines. Château Pas du Cerf – "Diane Blanc" 2025, Côtes de Provence Proof that Provence has plenty more to offer than rosé! A bright, aromatic white with citrus, orchard fruit and delicate Mediterranean herbal notes. Fresh and beautifully balanced, it's a lovely companion to seafood, salads and leisurely lunches in the sunshine. Malmont – "Petit Rouge", Côtes du Rhône Villages, France As the sun goes down and the desert air gets a little cooler, it's time for something red. From the Southern Rhône comes this generous, characterful wine, full of dark berries, warm spice and a touch of wild herbs. Just the thing for an evening around the table with good friends. Four wines, two regions, and a little taste of the good life in Southern France, without having to leave the desert! Details 📍 Perry’s Palm Springs 📅 Thursday, 11/12 ⏰ 5–7pm Free and open to all 21+
