According to a new report, the majority of Americans enjoy rosé for the refreshing taste. More than half would find a glass of rosé more refreshing than a Popsicle on a hot summer day.

Here in West Michigan, St. Julian Winery offers a variety of these great pink wines, so it might be a good weekend to pick up a bottle and say “cheers” to summer.
