Rosé Wine for Fall

From the Chicago Tribune: "A wine for more seasons Rosé deserves a spot on the table in autumn too"

"Shadows are growing longer and days are growing shorter, but don't for a second think summer is over — even if the kids are heading back to school. There are plenty of sultry days in store. Warm weather can extend well beyond Labor Day; just ask any New Englander about Indian summer, a San Franciscan about what life is like in October (especially life without air conditioning) or a Floridian pretty much any time of year. Rose will matter for quite a while now.

Good rose has a crisp kick and a fresh berry essence that can revive the flagged spirits and heat-dulled tongues. As you would expect, rose works with those foods and fruits of high summer, like vine-ripened tomatoes, corn on the cob, red peppers, berries of all sorts. But the wine also is compatible with fall and its classic flavors: cabbage, Brussels sprouts, pears, cauliflower and broccoli, just to name a few."
