Rosés to try

2018 La Jara Pinot Grigio, Venezia, Italy. Here’s a sneaky entry into your wine club’s rosé tasting. It’s not actually a rosé, even though it looks and tastes like one. Pinot gris is a dark-skinned grape, and when the juice is fermented with a little skin contact, it takes on a coppery-orange tint. The result is very different from the typical pinot grigio with its crisp, neutral character. This wine, made with organic grapes, has oomph. $10

2018 Tasca Regaleali Le Rose, Sicily, Italy. Juicy, with hints of spice and wild herbs, this lovely rosé is made with the Sicilian grape variety nerello mascalese. Don’t look for subtlety here; this is straightforward, unapologetic fun. Certified sustainable. $14

2018 Hampton Water, Languedoc, France. Watermelon and strawberry flavors, with a hint of mint, highlight this delightful rosé from rock star Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jesse Bongiovi, in collaboration with French winemaker Gerard Bertrand. If strawberry doesn’t come to mind with the first sip, it is also suggested by the strawberry-shaped punt — or bottom divot — in the elegant bottle. $25

2018 Miraval, Cotes de Provence, France. This may not be the original celebrity pink wine, but it is the most famous. Created by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, along with the Perrin family, Miraval hits the classic notes — pale color, flavors of melons, berries and sea air, and a refreshing palate. $25 2018 Legend Vineyard Exclusive LVE, Provence, France. This is singer-songwriter John Legend’s foray into wine, in partnership with Jean-Charles Boisset of the Boisset Collection family of wines. It tastes more on the herbal side of rosé, with an intriguing dryness and finish. There is also an LVE sparkling rosé. $27
