Rosé Wines - Perfect Summer Sippers

Wednesday July 8, 2009
Whether it's rosé, rosado (Spain), rosato (Italy) or "blush" - these terms all refer to pink wine. Rosés are perfect for summer, as they are served chilled and can be a refreshing accompaniment to a variety of warm weather fare. Rosé wines also top the charts for food-friendly versatility, debuting in picnic baskets and sprucing things up at backyard barbecues. You can count on rosés to tackle everything from a chicken salad sandwich to burgers and fries.
    Gone are the days when when the wine market was flooded with "White Zin" look alikes, many consumers are helping to break rosés out of the sweet, "wine cooler" mold and are embracing the broad stylistic offerings that are on the rosé market from all over the world. Wine lovers and wine makers are both the better for it!
