Top Rosé Picks For Summer 2019

On Wednesdays we wear pink and during the summer we sip Rosé. Yes, it’s that time of year again, where the rose colored wine takes center stage as the star of your backyard barbecues, cool down pool days and even Sunday Fun-days. Rose’ wine packed with fruitiness is typically best served chill during the peak of summer, but any true wine connoisseur knows it can be enjoyed year round.

Fermented for only a few short hours, unlike red wines, the skins of red grapes provide a natural pale pink hue to most bottles. Over the years, its popularity has transcended Rose' past its counterparts, thanks to millennial wine enthusiasts. We’ve compiled our top four picks of Rose’ wines to treat your palate this season.
