My bottle of choice? Lucky Girl Rosé. The pink wine is on-theme, and it’s also Black-owned, making it a perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day and Black History Month at the same time. Whatever your plans are, here’s why you’ll want to invite a bottle of Lucky Girl Rosé to the party — or gift one to your loved one.
What You Should Know About Lucky Girl Rosé
Lucky Girl Rosé was founded by Akilah Releford Gould, a student turned entrepreneur. She got her start in the business world at Howard University, where she founded Mary Louise Cosmetics from her dorm room. Following its success, she dropped out to fully lean into her entrepreneurial spirit. (You can also find her sharing entertaining and hosting tips on social media.)
Gould wanted to create a wine for girls like her, and rosé is her drink of choice, so it was a natural fit. From the wine itself to the design of the bottle, Gould said, “I wanted to redefine luxury and make it more accessible. We want to be the wine that you take out of your bag [and] drink with your girlfriends, but also the wine you bring to a dinner party.”
The rosé is made from different grape varietals (primarily Grenache) and sustainably produced in small batches with minimal land intervention, managed water usage, and organic growing practices. According to the website, it has tasting notes of candied cherries, strawberries, rhubarb, and wild flowers and pairs well with fish, sushi, french fries, creamy brie, arugula salad, and more. You can find Lucky Girl Rosé on the brand’s website (as well as its sparkling wine) for $25 per bottle. It’s also available at Wally’s Beverly Hills. (It’s released in limited quantities and sells out fast, so keep your eyes peeled for another drop!)
My Honest Review of Lucky Girl Rosé
This rosé is a stunner from bottle to glass. The bottle is adorned with flowers and delicate gold script details that make it something you’d want to display — or gift. The rosé itself is a beautiful peachy, pink, coral color, like a dreamy sunset.
It’s fruity and floral, and very easy to drink, with a smooth, clean finish. I also like that it isn’t overly sweet — it contains zero sugar after all — and is dry, crisp, and light. There’s no bitterness or harsh aftertaste. It just glides on the palate. As I mentioned above, it would be great for a picnic or enjoyed on a rooftop, but it’ll be equally as delicious for a Valentine’s night in.
