There's never a wrong time or season to drink rosé . The wine's food-friendly versatility and cheerful approachability as a stand-alone sipper make for perfection in a glass. Whether you're lounging by the pool with a good book or crushing a burger and fries on the patio, rosé has found a year-round home in wine shops and on menus around Atlanta.

Four rosés to consider for your wine rack

Domaine de Triennes rosé, Provence, France

Commanderie de la Bargemone rosé, Provence, France 

An editor's choice by Wine Enthusiast, this pale-colored rosé is crisp and dry with subtle notes of fresh watermelon and strawberries. A surprising touch of orange zest at the finish.

2012 Terrazze Dell'Etna rosé , Sicily, Italy

Sarah Pierre of 3 Parks Wine Shop in Glenwood Park tells us this sparkling rosé is 90% pinot noir and 10% nerello mascalese. Grown on volcanic soil, the barely pink rosé is delicate yet balanced with notes of fresh red fruits like strawberry and raspberry.

Moët Grand Vintage rosé 2008, Champagne, France
