I'll do my annual rose preview and review at the end of May, but no time is a bad time to write about rose. It's cheap, it's food friendly, and it's versatile. Plus, the weekend forecast for Dallas says gorgeous spring weather, so the Wine Curmudgeon will be able to break out a bottle and sip it on the back porch.
The Santa Digna (about $10) has a little more body than many roses, thanks to the cabernet. But this Chilean wine from one of the country's best known producers is still light and refreshing, and still pairs with everything from grilled chicken to hamburgers to pizza.
