| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | This weather begs for rosé, but not the simple sweet stuff that characters yesterday's pink wines. This example is exactly what we need more of: medium-bodied with a gorgeous, bright orange-rimmed fuchsia color. Aromas and flavors bring up thoughts of candied apples, strawberries, watermelon and red raspberries. This fresh and fruity-focused rosé wine shows lovely acidity is unpretentious and easy to enjoy. It invites sitting on the deck until the tree frogs start their nightly symphony talking with friends (or with no one), and NOT waxing snobbish about the wine. The grape is Cabernet Sauvignon. Serve in medium-sized, tulip-shaped glasses at about 55ºF/17ºC. Here's a test: as it warms up in the glass, it still tastes good. Foods to have handy include spicy shrimp spreads; smoked salmon mousse; shrimp and grits with saut/éed strips of sweet bell peppers and maybe a little tasso ham (a la Horseradish Grill); slightly spicy grilled sausages; Korean barbecue or good old-fashioned Southern barbecued chicken; Creole barbecued shrimp.
