Since being introduced to great Rosés, I have to continually restock my wine fridge because I love it so much.

Here’s some tips to discovering a whole new world of Rosé:

• Taste at wineries, wine bars and events.
• Ask what varietal it is made from (my favorite is 100% Pinot Noir, followed closely by the Rhone varietals such as Syrah and Mouvédre).
• Learn the difference between Rosé and white zinfandel.
• Get to know dry Rosés (as opposed to sweet)…there really is such a thing! In fact, it’s a trend.
• Order Rosés at restaurants  so you can continue to learn; ask the server to help pair the wine.
• Remember, Rosé is the perfect lunch wine because it is usually low in alcohol.

Arrowood’s Rose ($20 retail) is exceptional and the winery is a great place for wine education.
