Rainbow
Rainbow is the perfect substitute for wine when you’d like a booze-free “wine down.” Hungry, happy, and relaxed are just right for dinner party energy, so (naturally) Rainbow would make a fantastic appetizer. It’s sweet, woody, and tropical, born from the cross of Dancehall and Blueberry. It also pairs well with a blended red should you want to bring booze back into the equation.
