"Following the success of our first edition of Cheez-It and Wine, which sold out in minutes, we knew we had to bring the partnership back this summer with a new flavor pairing," Jeff Delonis, senior director of marketing for Cheez-It, said in a statement. "White Cheddar is a long-standing favorite of Cheez-It fans and what better match than light, refreshing rosé?
