Memorial Day is in sight, which means it's time to crack open a bottle of rosé—and make sure it stays within arm's reach all summer long.
The good news is, you don't need to break the bank to find a solid rosé. There are a lot of delightful rosés in the $10-to-$20 range, so we've put together a list of some of the best finds that fall under the $15 mark. Though prices may vary slightly according to retailer, all of these wines hit the sweet spot of both tasty and affordable.
We drew from our own (extensive) experience and also called upon two experts to help us out: sommelier Jean-Luc Le Dû of NYC's Le Dû's Wines and Chris McPherson, the somm at the NYC's Flinders Lane.
