It’s that time of the
year to stock your cellars with plenty of bottles for the summertime
crowds. Rosé is always at the top of our
list…perfect for drinking around the pool, and great aperitifs for outside summer
dinners. Here are my suggestion for this
year’s best Rosés (in alpha order):
La Crema
This one is perpetually
on my summer's list. Made from Pinot Noir, this Russian River Rosé is made in
small quantities so buy several when you find it. $20
MIP
Produced by Domaine Sainte
Lucie in Provence, this one is a block-buster winner. Very well crafted and great value. $16-18
Mirabeau PURE
Mirabeau makes several Rosés,
but the Pure rendition is the best of all.
Made in a lovely Provence village, this one is readily available at
places at BevMo. $16-18
Whispering Angel
I had my first taste of
this wine just a few weeks ago. My husband
drove 50 miles to pick up a case after reading about it winning awards from those in some wine rag. From Provence, it’s a great choice. $18-20
