Don't let the winter chill keep you from enjoying a chilled wine. Dry roses can be enjoyed year round. The shimmery shades of ruby, coral, and pink brighten up our glass and our mood as the landscape dulls down to beige, gray, and white.

Rose is a style of wine, so you can find bottles in all levels of sweetness and dryness. Sweeter styles make good party aperitifs and dry styles pair well with food.

The Glazebrook Winery in New Zealand makes a robust, rich yet bright, dry style rose. Aromas and flavors of currant, black raspberry, and a crisp mineral finish make this rose one you can serve with main dish fare like burgers, tacos and pizza.

The 2017 Reserve Mont-Redon from the Cotes du Rhone region of France is equally dry and refreshing. Elegant and full bodied in style, try it with assorted cheeses, sushi, and vegetarian fare.

A fun stocking stuffer is a can of Dark Horse Rose. It's crisp, and dry with flavors of ripe black cherry. Each can holds two servings making it a smart share with Santa if you need to get your name off the naughty list and onto the nice.
