Cheers to rosé season!!!! Wear your favorite flattering wide-leg linen pants, put on a pretty pair of sandals, and head outside to drink a glass of rosé in a cool unbreakable stemless wine glass.

Rosé Wine Tasting Tips

If you’re looking for a new rosé wine to try, here are some tips to help you find one that will make you happy. The more you taste, the more you’ll be able to pick out wines you know you’ll love. First, choose a variety based on what you like. Next, consider the region. French rosè tends to be dryer, while California can be a little bit sweeter. Finally, think about where you plan to drink it. You might enjoy a light rosé wine more than a full-bodied one.

If you’re looking for a wine to pair with food, try one of these rosés. If you love rosé wine as much as we do, then you’ll definitely enjoy our list of the top rosé wines brands. We’ve included recommendations for both red and white varieties, so there’s something for everyone.

Best for your best friends: Chateau d'Esclans Rock Angel Rose

You have probably heard of the popular Whispering Angel, and this is the next step up. Chateau d’Esclans Rock Angle Rosè is a higher end rosè, and it is superb. It doesn’t have that tart tanginess that accompany some rosès, and is smooth and drinkable and worth every penny! James Suckling gave it 92 points.

Tastes like peaches and strawberries, but is not sweet.

Pair it with a cheese board and your best friends for happy hour. This balanced rosè is food-friendly, and would be an excellent wine to serve while you’re grilling chicken, seafood, and even burgers!

You’ll pay $34.99

Josh is probably one of the most popular and recognizable Rosé brands, and you can’t go wrong keeping a bottle chilled in your fridge.

Tastes like citrus and strawberries. 

Pair roses with this elegant Josh Cellars rosè, invite one of your smart girlfriends over, serve cream cheese with pepper jelly and crackers (yum) and chat about everything from the perfect pink shade of lipgloss for spring (it’s this) to the next book you plan to read. Serve with goat cheese, spring salads, pretty statement earrings, and sushi. This is a rosè that will compliment tangy salads tossed in a vinaigrette with shrimp or salmon on top, or be a great starter wine to serve with a goat cheese appetizer. Either way, it pairs best with a cool friend and a pretty spring dress.

Tastes like the tropics and apricots.

Pair it with a Lilly Pulitzer or seersucker sundress.  Best served chilled, the smooth, easy-drinking rosè does not have a whole lot going on – and that’s a good thing. It’s an Every Wine, the kind you can serve fussy self-proclaimed wine connoisseurs next to friends that refer to rosè as “pink wine” and please everyone.

Pink Bubbles: Chandon California Rose Sparkling Wine

This is our go-to sparkling, which is popular in restaurants (and you can order a split! which is just a little more than a glass, the perfect starter.)

Tastes like heaven. Also watermelons and strawberries surrounded by a million bubbles. (specifically, this many bubbles are in a bottle of sparkling.)

Pair it with sushi, fried chicken, or air. Basically, you can serve this sparkling with anything. (Fried chicken loves sparkling.) Chandon is like the Draper James of wine: effervescent, preppy and happy. Wear stripes and say cheers. 🥂
