Top 15 Rosés for Summer Under $20

Summer is around the corner; everywhere you look the most beautiful shades of green have grown over the winter’s hues of gray and brown.

Maybe there are flowers from your gardens happily brightening your kitchen counter, the temperature has made it to consistent 70s (or higher), and the sun has made its return from its winter hiding.

How do we wine drinkers in the northeast handle these wild temperature shifts from season to season?

We imagine, plan, and wait. Our palate, much like our bodies, slowly makes their shift from a fat, heavy and slow drinking cabernet sauvignon to a light, zippy, pour me another Rosé. What even is summer without a crisp, dry but fruity, pink rosé to sip at your favorite outdoor restaurant patio or with friends by the pool?

Let’s imagine. It’s a blazing summer evening. You pop the cork (or unscrew the cap) on something chilled and the first sip hits just right-bright, juicy, ridiculously refreshing and before long, you’re ready for the next pour.

The plan. Start with CHILLED’S list of 15 for $20, our favorite rosés for the summer!
