  • Happy Summer: We Declare Rosé Wine Season Open!

    We’ve told you before, don’t be afraid of pink wines! Or, copper, salmon, or clear cherry-colored ones for that matter. We have been drinking rosé wines through all the warm spells leading up to this summer.

    These lovely rosés were enjoyed at Bistro du Midi.

    Officially, summer begins tonight at 7:09 pm EDT. That makes this an excellent day to shop for a bottle of rosé, chill it down, and pour a glass or two to toast the new season.

    Stores who know their wines are ready for summer with big displays of rosé wines. At South End Formaggio, we found a veritable mountain of choices. And, these are the places where you can ask for guidance to find the rosé that fits your taste– bone dry to fruity, still to sparkling.

    Add a bottle or two to your next wine purchase and follow the lead of the wise folks from Provence to Basque Country who sip pink in the warm days of summer.

    The trees agree that it's Spring. If you love the Commonwealth Avenue Magnolias and come view them around Patriots Day each year, move that date up to this weekend.
