After the circus ends, all the carnies like to hang up their gigantic bowties, kick off their oversized shoes and enjoy a drink that reminds them of summer. If it’s in Monterey County, that drink is Folktale’s Sparkling Rosé, the best local Rosé. This is a wine that needs no introduction, since it’s consistently a favorite among anyone who visits the vineyards. With its soft pink hue and playful bubbles, each sip will send you further into bliss. It’s all about enjoying the show. Speaking of which, everything has to be perfect to set up amazing acrobatics, rings of fire and illusionists. The only thing more meticulously planned might be Folktale’s charcuterie plate. An assortment of cheeses, meats, fruits and nuts is a feast for the eyes and the palate. It makes you want to stop and take a photo before you dig into it.
