I thought it would be a good time to finally try Rosés to uncover my favorite while we’re all sheltering in place! I’m no wine expert (although I have been drinking a glass daily)…just wanted to share my tried and true favorites that are both tasty and affordable.
One of my favorite things to do is pop open a bottle of wine while we’re cooking dinner or sharing a cheese board at home. Evenings are always better when you add a little wine, find all the small things to enjoy and celebrate!
I was planning on doing this Rosé tasting alone but my mama came over to our place and we made a day of it. Below are the wines that we tried and enjoyed. I will leave only the positive reviews for the wines we enjoyed, the ones that we didn’t enjoy will not be listed below.
OPALINE Pinot Noir Brut Rosé($7.99)
Sparkling wine from Languedoc-Roussillon · France. We found it to be a semi-sweet, light body with a crisp flavor. Very bubbly with a sweet smell. My mama loved this wine she returned to it after the tasting. Very nice affordable Rosé we found at Trader Joe’s. YUM!
THE COLLECTION ($9.99)
Rosé wine from California. We found The Collection to have a light scent and body. Semi sweet, slight dry, and crisp taste. A big surprise for the price and we found it at Target. We didn’t have sushi, but this would be D E L I C I O U S paired with sushi!
MIRAVAL Rosé 2018 ($21.99)
Rosé wine issued from the Château’s best parcels (Muriers, Longue, Romarin), and from selected parcels in the best terroirs of Provence. Clay & Limestone vineyard. We found it to have a light fragrance, semi dry with a crisp taste. We really enjoyed the versatility in flavor and weight of the wine. This wine is sold in many stores, we found I in Target but will need to act quickly when you see it. It was SOLD OUT today when I went for a quick grocery stop.
CRISPIN ROSÉ HARD CIDER ($12)
Crispin Rosé is an elegant blend of apple and pear juice crafted with rose petals and hibiscus. This is one tasting that isn’t a wine, but delicious and competes with the other Rosés. Light enough to enjoy outside like you would a beer, but tastes like Rosé ! Sold in many stores, but if you haven’t guessed it yet, we got it at Target!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST…
