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 ros\u00e9 wines through all the warm spells leading up to this summer.<\/p>\n

Officially, summer begins tonight at 7:09 pm EDT<\/a>. That makes this an excellent day to shop for a bottle of ros\u00e9, chill it down, and pour a glass or two to toast the new season. <\/p>\n

Stores who know their wines are ready for summer with big displays of ros\u00e9 wines. At South End Formaggio,<\/a> we found a veritable mountain of choices.
