"Winemakers make rosé from red grape varieties, creating wines with fresh, fruit-forward flavors similar to those of their red wine counterparts. However, the rosé palates will be lighter, flavors will typically be fresher, and acidity will be brighter. With these attributes, a rosé wine can easily pair with any cuisine, from spicy Thai or Mexican to light seafood or pasta dishes - to even your Thanksgiving table."
"The wholesaler's wines are also frequently priced lower than those in a typical retail store. However, in a sea of pink, how can you tell which are worth trying and which to skip? To help, I gathered selections currently lining Costco shelves to determine which deserve a spot in your shopping cart. I tried the wines side by side, evaluating their taste while considering how they were produced, the winery's history, and their provenance."
Rosé wines are typically released in spring, shortly after harvest, when fruit is brightest and refreshing flavors complement seasonal fare, though quality rosés are available year-round. Rosés are made from red grape varieties and present fresh, fruit-forward flavors with lighter palates and brighter acidity than reds. These characteristics enable rosé to pair with a wide range of cuisines, from spicy Thai and Mexican dishes to light seafood, pasta, and holiday fare. Costco often stocks ample domestic and international rosé options at prices lower than typical retail, and wines were evaluated side-by-side for taste, production, provenance, and winery history.
