I can't think of a better place to kick off Rosé Month on "Wines of the Week" than Provence which is considered the birthplace of rosé! With its balmy Mediterranean breezes, sun-drenched fields of lavender and snow-capped mountain ranges, there are few more gorgeous wine regions on Earth.However, despite its natural beauty, the region's wine has never been considered especially noteworthy. In fact, quite the contrary. Rosé was considered an everyday, "cheap and cheerful" style of wine...until a few years ago.And today, with the popularity of this style of wine hitting the stratosphere, any wine lover seeking to "empower their palate" needs a guide to these pink wines which can vary widely in terms of style and quality. This is why I hope you're here and why you'll join me on this month-long, rosé-soaked journey which we'll begin with four of my favorites from Provence.TODAY'S FEATURED WINES:1.)
