My first favorite rosé of the summer — and a bargain at just $12. Juicy, crisp, refreshing and works with more types of food than you might think. Try it!

Jean-Luc Colombo 2009 Vin de Pays de Mediterranee Rosé Cape Bleue ($12). Easy to like (perhaps too easy!), with aromatic crushed strawberry and red cherry fruit laced with crisp mineral and fresh herbal notes. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.
