Day 472: A picnic in the park to kick off the summer

In holiday weekend mode yet?

I know I am!

Doesn't this weather scream Rose, relaxing in the sun, and barbecues?

I think this is the perfect afternoon to pick up a bottle of Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé, my go-to summer wine clocking in at $10.99 a bottle -- it is affordable, delicious, crisp, refreshing, and dry. Hailing from Provence, crafted by winemaker Charles Bieler in honor of his father and named for his daughter, he keeps it all in the family...and this is a family who knows a thing or two about winemaking, they used to own Chateau Routas also in Provence. Our Rosé is 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon with hints of raspberry, strawberry, and light cherry and spice notes and a mineral finish. It's easy drinking summer wine at its best!

So what to have with it?

How about a nice fresh chevre from Painted Goat Farm in upstate New York?

Simple, young, alive, and the right way to ring in the summer!

Enjoy the long weekend folks.
