Canned wines are all the rage and Washington State’s 14 Hands Winery has introduced their newest wines for us to pair with summer! Whether you’re a lover of rosé, Pinot Grigio, bubbles, or red blends, there is a wine for you to enjoy!
Remember when screw caps became popular? Well, now you can rest assured that you will be able to enjoy your favorite wines with more portability, convenience, and great for hanging outdoors.
Cans will chill quicker, will solve the “no glass at the pool” problem, and are cost effective. But most of all, they taste great too! 14 Hands Winery’s newest release of canned wines are refreshing, light, and fruity off-dry and pair well with the sweltering summer heat.
Pop a can today and get the party started! What you get are fresh and delicious fruit forward wines that bring the party to you. They are perfect for just hanging out at the pool, on the porch, or pairing with dinner and friends. All you need is a bucket of ice and you have an instant party. Throw in BBQ, burgers, or pizza to top it off!

Recently, we were treated to an Italian dinner at Juliet’s Italian Kitchen hosted by 14 Hands brand ambassador and Sommelier, Samantha Capaldi, and Sarah Hamaker, brand representative, which featured wine and food pairings with 14 Hands canned wines. The wines are so versatile and refreshing and were a perfect match for the appetizers of tomato bruschetta, fried calamari, and salmon crudo. The wines were the star of the table as we enjoyed the pizzas, which included Margherita, Cacio E Pepe and Meatball, and even dessert!
There is a wine for every palate! We enjoyed Bubbles, Rosé, Pinot Grigio, and Hot to Trot Red Blend. Each wine was a great pairing with the food and the gathering of friends.
Bubbles are always a great party starter! It’s a festive way to get your friends in the party spirit. Each sip was filled with delicate flavors of apples, citrus, and lively acidity.
Everyone loves rosé sipping for the summer, and this will become your favorite! It is a Syrah-based wine with refreshing flavors of melon, strawberries, and lots of citrus.
If Pinot Grigio is your go-to wine, you will run for this one! It is crisp and refreshing with hints of green apple, melon, and honeysuckle.
Red wine drinkers will rejoice with this summer-friendly red wine. Forget the heavy, rich red wines for the summer and dive into this cool red blend with aromas and flavors of cherries, berries, plums, and vanilla with just enough spice and tannins to pair with BBQ and pizza.
Bring on the canned wine, sit by the pool, and cool off from the sweltering summer heat!
How about trying some Texas canned wines like Los Pinos Moscato, All My X’s, Rosie the Riveter and Pinky Tuscandero. Cool, sweet and perfect for the pool or lake.
For some reason in the first Canned Wine Competition, only one Texas winery entered. Maybe if more enter next time, we’ll get the word out.
