Rosés

Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Rosé 2024, Languedoc A.P., France: This Côtes de Provence blend sparkles with watermelon medley, white-peach nectar and honeysuckle perfumes. A thread of sea-breeze salinity and zesty acidity gives the wine a mouthwatering lift. Its dry, seamless texture keeps each sip utterly moreish. Pair it with seared scallops in citrus butter or a feta-and-heirloom-tomato bruschetta. Rosé food pairings: crab cakes, cedar-planked salmon, cold turkey sandwiches.

Red Wine

Villa Trasqua Chianti Classico 2020, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: This Chianti Classico shines with vibrant cranberry and red-cherry aromas, accentuated by a dusting of Tuscan herbs. Its medium body and taut tannins are framed by lively acidity, leading to a clean, focused finish. The wine’s organic pedigree adds a pure, unfiltered character. Pair with prosciutto-wrapped melon or a fresh panzanella salad for a bright summer match. Chianti Classico food pairings: wild mushroom risotto, veal parmigiana, roast turkey. Drink: 2025 - 2027 121160 14.2% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. July 2025. Best Value Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
