Best local Paso Robles rosé wines for the holidays 

best rose wines in Paso Robles

Rosé has come along way from the white zinfandel I remember my relatives drinking at family get-togethers. Today’s Paso Robles’ rosés are sophisticated and delicious. These Paso Robles rosé wines will pair well with lighter fare, appetizers like prosciutto-wrapped melon, smoked salmon and deviled eggs. They will also go well with baked ham, pork tenderloin and white meat of roasted turkey. For all the holiday chefs out there, consider enjoying rosé wines yourself as your prepare holiday meals. Remember to serve them chilled. Enjoy!

Publisher’s note: For the third year in a row we thought it would be fun to recommend local wines for upcoming holiday parties and meals. Once again, I had no idea how much participation we would receive from our local wineries. Over the last few weeks we received more than 100 entries. The recommended wines are in alphabetical order.
