We never really limit certain styles of wine to specific times of year—you’ll find us drinking reds in the summer, pouring white wines in the winter, and popping bubbly on any random Tuesday night—but as spring blooms once again, we inevitably start stocking up on rosé. These days, rosé means so much more than pink wine. It blurs the lines with orange wines and light reds, and spills over into sparkling.
