War of the Rosés, an annual, restaurant industry fundraiser and competition, has begun.
Now in its fifth year, this year’s War of the Rosés has the largest number of participants to date, including more than a dozen bars and restaurants, all of whom will be donating a portion of their rosé sales in July to charity.
War of the Rosés’ participating restaurant will donate 5% of all rosé sales (including wine, frozé or rosé-based cocktails) to a designated charity of their choice with another 5% going to the winning restaurant’s designated charity. The winner of this friendly competition is the business that sells the most rosé in July, and their designated charity benefits the most. Since its inception in 2018, War of the Rosés has raised over $17,000 for a variety of worthy charities.
