Rose wines

There are few wine grape varieties as versatile as the rose. The pink-hued wine can be made in a number of styles, from light and fruity to dry and complex, and pairs well with an array of foods. One of the best places to enjoy a glass of rose is in Provence, France, where the sunny climate and abundance of fresh herbs make for some of the world's most fragrant wines.

Despite its popularity in France, rose is often overlooked by wine drinkers in the United States. That's a shame, because American winemakers are starting to produce some excellent examples of this versatile wine. If you're looking for a summer sipper that's both refreshing and flavorful, give rose a try. You might be surprised at how much you like it!
