There's the charm of wine with pink color… light red berry taste… refreshing quaffable drink. Rosé is no longer red and far from white, yet so delightful in our glass to toast a new season of warm and sunny days. I'm a big fan of Charles & Charles Rosé. It's a Surdyk's American favorite from the state of Washington. It has a grape blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre that originated in France and continues to dominate their Provence rosé wines. Charles & Charles shows a vibrant color with rich flavor of red berries like cherry and strawberry, plus some lemon citrus and honeydew melon aromas. The wine's texture and body are light like white wine, yet paired with darker red fruit flavors that give it substance and flair in your glass. Traditional Easter dinner of roasted ham or lamb would be a fitting table for this rosé. I'm looking forward to summer afternoon trays of cheese and olives with, of course, Charles & Charles Rosé. - Bill McCleary, Wine Consultant
