20 Wines Under $20: The Savory Side of Ros

[elleng]

'If for no other reason than popular demand, summer is rosé season.

These wines, once pitilessly disparaged as dull and anemic, have been hotter than July for a decade, a climactic shift that shows no signs of letting up. In the past few months, three books on rosé have been published, which possibly doubles the number of volumes on rosé in all of time. . .

Here, in no particular order, are 20 rosés, each under $20.'>>>

I've enjoyed some rose of Pinot Noir wines from Oregon, when the grapes were not up to par for making serious Pinot Noir, but fortunately for Oregon, there has not really been a year since 2007 when such was the case.

It used to happen with Washington wines, too, before vineyardists knew what they were doing in crafting brilliant Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots. Now, a rose wine from the Pacific Northwest is rare, because the people in Oregon and Washington have the know-how to make the wines they were planning from the start of the season.
