… your guide to finding delicious rosés perfect for summertime grilling! I seem to be on quite the rosé kick this summer. I blame two things – the heat, and my husband. First, when it’s hot out I want to be drinking something cold and refreshing. The later is based on the fact that my [...]

Actually nobody has ever told me that, nor have I read it anywhere. I just made it up. It’s my way of coping with the fact that I just signed up to run a marathon and I’m going to need a lot of moral support… in the liquid form that is. Wine does hydrate right? [...]
