“Yes Way, Rosé,” has been a pillar of our brand ethos since day one. We’ve always felt a connection to the bubbly conversation and feeling of connection that comes alongside sipping good wine with good friends. As TGR has grown, our commitment to living joyfully and consciously remains steadfast, and it’s been a goal of ours since the beginning to forge partnerships in our community that support this same feeling. 

This Hello Summer season, we’re thrilled to highlight our first-ever community partners, Pelee Island Winery. Through both their commitment to sustainability and their succulent wines, they embody the space where joyful moments and conscious practices can coexist. Our summer partnership includes some very exciting exclusive offers to the TGR community – if you love Canadian wine the same way we do, you’re going to want to keep reading.

When we first connected with Pelee – a privately owned winery with two locations in the Lake Erie North Shore region – we fell in love with their LOLA brand. Elevated, delicate and approachable, the LOLA lineup catches attention first with the label – then with the taste. From chilled and sparkling rosé with notes of strawberry to warm red with cherry with currant, the nuances of each wine pair accompany a summer day from dockside to fireside. 

As the country’s Southernmost estate winery and the birthplace of winemaking in Canada, Pelee embraces the magic of the Canadian seasons, delivering rosés, whites, and reds that transport the happy sipper to sunny afternoons and cozy evenings on the Lake Erie islands. As founding members of Sustainable Winemaking Ontario, Pelee is committed to enhancing the environment by using sustainable practices in their wineries and vineyards, ensuring their carbon footprint is reduced and wildlife is preserved. (If you’re curious about how they apply these practices, you can explore further info here!)

To kick off our summer of community partnership, Pelee Island Winery is eager to engage with our community through sharing their beautiful wine. Generously offering a bottle of LOLA wine to all TGR subscribers *and* the readers of this blog post, you can redeem a complimentary bottle with the code GIFTREFINERY. This offer is applicable to their LOLA Blush Sparkling, LOLA Pinot Grigio, and LOLA Cabernet Franc, valid through December 31st, 2022.
