Spring Rose

It is clearly spring, beautiful and full blooming spring.  While it can be a fickle season with lots of rain and sun alike, there is one thing that suits spring all of the time; rose.  Of course this isn’t the flowers, rose wine.  The lovely pink wines are just juicy enough to make everything more sunny and full of life.  While a lot of different roses are available to put in three bottle wine totes for that get-together or cook-out with friends, it is best to look for rose wines that are distinctive. 

                Many think that rose wine tastes more like white zinfandel than anything else, but there are rose wines out there with flavors so unique that they can range from something like a mineraly and fruity explosion to almost sparkling wine with a fruit punch kick.  Common is not really in a rose’s taste, fruit is as close to common as it can be pinned down because all kinds of fruit from watermelon, strawberry, raspberry, apple, grapefruit and lime are easily found in good roses.  While it may not seem manly to be drinking a pink wine, get over it and join the women because everyone deserves to enjoy this fun and fruity way to luxuriate in spring’s fine weather.
