Cheers: Think pink

Summer is over, school is in full swing and the heat … well, the heat lives on. But stubborn hot weather has its upside: it pairs well with with drinking rosé, the quintessential outdoor wine. Rosé pairs well with a range of foods including seafood, goat cheeses, salads, grilled meats and sushi. Plus the most traditional application of rosé is to drink it over a picnic or an al fresco table. Our best expression of outdoor dining kicks off feverishly this month with football tailgating, a terrific opportunity to break out the pink.
