Summer's here, and everyone's favorite warm-weather staple, our beloved rosé, is back on the menu. With an astonishing range of varieties to select from, diving into the world of rosé can be daunting. Thankfully, we have a roundup of go-to options that will make your summer celebration a splash without ruining your budget.

Savoring a summer drink doesn't necessarily mean breaking the bank. Here are some great rosé options that you can indulge in that provide refill after refill of refreshing sips. You might be at a backyard grill, beside a pool, or cooling off in the comfort of your air conditioning; whatever the setting, these bottles of blush will serve it up right.

On my personal shopping list is a rosé from La Vielle Ferme, also known as the "Chicken Wine." It's an affordable under $10 option that offers a winning combination of quality, flavor, and pedigree, courtesy of the reputable Perrin family, known for their winemaking skills in the Rhône Valley.

However, La Vielle isn't the only option to quench your thirst. Here are some top picks from beverage experts.

Fans of rosé should consider the offerings from Kelby James Russell, especially the 2024 Apollo’s Praise Nutt Road Cab Franc Rosé, as recommended by Maiah Johnson Dunn, a wine writer and educator. From its ''thought-provoking'' texture to its "refreshing palate-cleansing acidity," it's an excellent choice for a summer BBQ.

Another suggestion comes from Molly Matelski, the founder of the Mmmm…Enjoy wine brand. She's fond of Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo from South Italy. These deeper-hued, fruit-forward rosés are perfect for long summer days.

For those who seek a balance between uncomplicated and unique, Anna Lee C. Iijima, a wine reviewer, recommends rosé from Tavel in the Southern Rhône or Bandol in southeastern France. Château d'Aqueria, despite being hard to find, offers elegance and dexterity and is very much worth the hunt.

Tyler Baillet, the author of Rebel School of Wine, recommends wines from Susana Balbo. Breaking barriers as the first female winemaker in Argentina, Balbo's wines embody her spirit and determination.

And Cara Patricia, co-founder and CEO of Decant Bottle Shop & Bar, endorses Domaine Gavoty, particularly their organically farmed Provençal blend. It boasts a captivating blend of mixed berries, rosehip, and a hint of salty air.

Various experts also recommend La Fête Rosé, Triennes Rosé from Vin de Pays de Méditerranée, and the rosé offerings from Baja Zone in Navarra. Each delivers distinct flavors, noted for their balance, affordability, and ideal suitability for summer sipping.

So, as you dive into the season of warm weather and refreshing beverages, consider these recommendations and elevate your rosé game. Whether you're hosting a picnic, grilling in the backyard, or just unwinding, there's a bottle out there waiting to make your summer all that much rosier.
