Rosé wine has become the new jet set of summer wine selections over the past few years. Make a splash at your next party with one of my 5 favorite rosés. If it’s really hot outside and the wine isn’t chilled enough,add an ice cube or two and voilà you are drinking a “piscine” (pool in English) like the beautiful in St. Tropez.
