DON’T DRINK CRAPPY WINE, BUT ESPECIALLY IF IT’S ROSE!
Rosé is a wine, like any other, which means there are good ones and bad ones. But don’t drink crappy wine just because it’s the summer and they are there. Take a little more time and search out the good stuff. So I love a rose like any other basic B. But I hate bad wine. So sometimes I am faced with a conundrum when at my local bar or brunch spot. I don’t want to drink a shitty rosé. But man do I want to drink some rosé. Here are some good ones that will make you feel like a fucking adult.
