New York Rose Wines Hold Their Own
- The climate of New York State does not consistently allow a vineyard's red wine grapes to ripen fully, but it's perfect for the less demanding rosés of summer. Visitors, tourists and native New Yorkers would do well to spend a summer enjoying New York State Rose Wines. You will find that drinking a Long Island or Finger Lakes rosé is a most pleasant way to soften the summer heat. Here are some to consider: Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Rosé, Finger Lakes, 2007: There's a touch of earthy funk to this wine, along with amplitude uncommon to a rosé. Just right for poached salmon. $10.89 at Cabrini Wines, www.cabriniwines.com; Wölffer Rosé, "The Hamptons," Sagaponack, NY; Exotically citric, smells and tastes as if it was vinified from blood oranges at Red, White & Bubbly, www.redwhiteandbubbly.com; Chateau Frank Célébré Sparkling Wine, New York, upstate New York in Hammondsport: Try Finger Lakes Wine at an online wine store in New York, Vintage New York, vintagenewyork.com. Rose is best served in a tulip shaped wine glass. Enjoy!
