As we take off our winter coats and prepare for a springtime bloom, it's the perfect weather for a glass of rosé wine. Randi Glazer discusses the reasons and vintages that make the best fit this spring.

1. A Rosé Grows
In Spring0me?

2. That means out with the heavier, full-bodied
wines like Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.
And in with crisper, lighter Pinot Grigios and
fruitier, sweeter Rieslings and Moscatos.
Springtime is here.

3. There’s no strict rule that says
reds are for winter and lighter
whites are for summer, but rosé
wines do fit naturally in between
in the springtime.
One vintage that’s
particularly refreshing is the
Alain Jaume & Fils’ Réserve
Grand Veneur from Côtes
du Rhône in France

4. The Grand Veneur can be found in
a range of pinks, depending on
where you find it, but one thing is
for certain: this dry rosé has the
robust acidic fruitiness of its red-
berry cousins.
That’s because Grand Veneur is made from the dark-skinned
grenache grape, and then mixed with redder Syrah grapes to
form a unique and refreshing taste.

5. Spring for a delicate rosé to transition from the winter
chill to the summer heat!
As flowers bloom and the colors come together
beautifully in your backyard this Spring, take out a
wine that parallels those springtime qualities.
