We are entering that wonderful part of summer in New England when farm
stands, home gardens, and farmer's markets are overflowing with ripe
vegetables and fruits! If I had to choose the ultimate wine to accompany all
these great homegrown flavors, it would have to be a Rose.

How about a salad of heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and buffalo
mozzarella....Or some corn that was just picked the same day....Or
summer squash and zucchini on the grill? And let's not forget the berry
families and fuzzy peaches, possibly as a side dish to a Sunday brunch?

Now rose wines are originating from every wine-growing
region in the world, and they are being made with a wide variety of red
grapes. A few years back you would have never encountered a Chilean Syrah
Rose or a South African Cabernet Sauvignon Rose.

So, celebrate the bounty of our local farmers along with a cheery selection
of refreshing rose wines.

Cheers,
