Last week, BSG hosted an exclusive virtual rosé tasting event, bringing together members of the PE middle market community for an evening of delightful wines and networking. Held on Thursday, August 22nd, the event aimed to reconnect old acquaintances and foster new relationships—all while enjoying some of summer’s best rosé selections.
Participants joined from kitchens, backyards, and even board rooms, as they sipped on Whispering Angel and two challenger bottles delivered to their doorsteps. The goal? A friendly "taste-off" to see if Whispering Angel could maintain its crown as the reigning king of summer rosé, or if one of the challengers would take the title.
Hosted by BSG Co-Founder and Managing Partner Clark Waterfall, who doubled as the evening’s amateur sommelier and emcee, the event featured lively discussions, wine trivia, and plenty of laughs. Clark guided guests through each wine, encouraging open conversation and some healthy competition as they crowned their favorite rosé of the evening.
The casual atmosphere allowed for relaxed networking, with many attendees making new connections and rekindling old ones. And while the focus was on fun, the virtual setting didn’t stop the business-minded crowd from exploring potential future deals and partnerships.
Though space was limited for the event, the enthusiasm and energy have inspired plans for future virtual tastings. Keep an eye out for upcoming events, and who knows—perhaps a new favorite rosé or business opportunity is just around the corner.
Stay tuned, and we hope to see you at the next BSG Sip & Socialize!
