You will want to consider the LBD Ros\u00e9 from Little Black Dress Wines. \u00a0Many people enjoy a light weight type of wine during warmer days and a light wine is wonderful to pair with salads and appetizers or just to enjoy as an aperitif.<\/p>\n<p>Last night we enjoyed a glass of the LBD Ros\u00e9 which had been sent to us as a sample. The Ros\u00e9<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>was a blend of Zinfandel and Petite Syrah. The wine was 12% alcohol with a residual sugar of 7 g\/L. The color of the wine was a delightful salmon color with a pink hue. The aroma was lightly fragrant with red berry fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. The taste, while having a hint of sweetness, was crisp with notes of chalky mineral, raspberries and strawberries. There were significant strawberry notes on the aftertaste which was very dry.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pairing suggestions include light summer dishes such as salads, fish, grilled meats and fresh cheese. The LBD Ros\u00e9 is also a lovely wine for use as a 3P wine &#8211; good for the patio, porch or poolside.<\/p>\n<p>LBD Ros\u00e9 retails for $11.99. The wine was produced in Mendocino County, California by winemaker Margaret Leonardi. In addition to the Ros\u00e9, LBD Wines also produces Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Diva Red, Merlot, Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n<p>Our wine sample came with a recipe for a spritzer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>LBD Spritzer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Ingredients<\/i><\/p>\n<p>4 oz.
