It is recommended by Steve Goldun, wine director at Palate Food & Wine in Glendale, CA. Guests at Palate can enjoy a flight of wines paired with seasonal dishes created from local ingredients. Palate also has a retail outlet, for which Steve travels the world seeking wines of distinction.

July is the perfect month to enjoy a rosé. This wine has a noticeable melon flavor, and a pleasing minerality that is consistent with the other wines from the domaine. It is made from a blend of Mouvedre, Grenache and Cinsault, and sells for about $18. This is the perfect wine to accompany everything that belongs in a picnic basket.
