Rosé for Labor Day...or the weekend after

I would suggest a Rosé, a fruity Viognier, or a nice Gewurztraminer. Rosés are very versatile wines. They can be heavy or light, dry or full of fruit and a little sweeter (which carries more alcohol). I would say a light, fruity choice would be the best as it can pair with various grilled food as well as salads today...yes and steak too!

A Viognier is normally not as heavy as Chardonnay and has the tropical fruit that you can enjoy. Great with chicken and moderate levels meals.
One of my favorite whites is Gewurztraminer. A little sweet, a little spice...nice! Spicy foods welcome it and it is also great with hotdogs!
