Remy Pannier Rosé d'Anjou 2013, Loire Valley, France: So pretty! Bone-dry, delicate rose with aromas of tine wild field strawberries, the kind that melt deliciously in your hand from the warmth of your palm. Yes this wine is very dry. Perfect aperitif served slightly chilled or for a treat, pair it with smoked salmon. Drink: 2014-2016. 12641 10% D 750 mL  $13.95 Score: 87/100. August 3, 2014 Best Value Rosé Wine.

Bottega Vino Dei Poeti Prosecco DOC, Veneto, Italy: Il Vino dei Poeti translates as the wine of the poets. Bottega says the name honours Italy’s artistry and culture. The company began as a family distillery in Treviso in 1977. Its Prosecco is pure Glera, with crisp pear and a whiff of white flowers. Delicate, steady bubbles lead to a clean finish. Set it out at holiday parties with smoked salmon crostini or a board of soft cheeses. Drink: 2024-2026. 897702 11% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 86/100. November 21, 2026 Best Value Sparkling Wine.
