Smoking Loon Steelbird Rosé 2018 Review
Cheap and reliable for ragers and gallery openings, this wacky weird blend is crazy juicy with significant amounts of sweetness from mass production, calling back the days of White Zin and the word “blush”. It’s basically like drinking strawberry yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar.
