Summer’s finally here and what better way to celebrate than with a refreshing, light and crisp glass of rosé?

Here are 5 affordable rosé wines to kick start the summer with:

• 2012 Banrock Station Pink Moscato ($8) – delicate pink in the glass with refreshing, lightly floral flavors.
• Pierre Sparr Crémant D’Alsace Brut Rosé ($15) – fragrant strawberry aroma and flavor with a hint of citrus.
• 2012 My Essential Rosé ($16) – palest of pinks in the glass, this rosé smells and tastes of wild strawberries with a crisp, dry finish.
• Lucien Albrecht Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé NV ($25) – features rich strawberries-and-cream flavors.
• Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut Rosé ($25) – juicy fruit flavors and a slightly spicy finish.

What are of your favorite rosé wines?

Cheers,
