April showers bring May flowers, but we’re seeing plenty of rosés cropping up already! And why not? Awful pun aside, you should feel free to enjoy rosés any time of the year—and all other wines too, for that matter. Big, bold reds in the heat of summer are great after a quick chill (seriously, try it; and if you need convincing, listen to WHY right here). Crisp whites in the winter perfectly complement hearty, heavy winter food. Sparkling doesn’t need a celebration to be opened. And rosé should be on your mind before you even think about donning a sun dress.
