As you consider summer whites, it’s well worth including muscadet in your mix. Muscadet is produced in the western end of France’s Loire Valley, not far from where the Loire River joins the Atlantic Ocean, and is considered a quintessential fish wine. Indeed, it is the wine of choice by the glass or carafe at countless cafes in maritime France and beyond, a natural pairing with oysters or (mussels and fries) or other shellfish and fish dishes.

I have to admit that South Africa was about the last place I would think of as a source for indulging in a nice glass of bubbly. Champagne comes to mind first, of course. Then maybe a sparkling Vouvray from France's Loire Valley or any number of spumantes from Italy, including the popular Proseccos. But South Africa?My impression quickly changed the other evening after opening a bottle of Graham Beck Brut from the Robertson region of the Western Cape, which has a suggested price of $16. The occasion was Mother's Day, and I thought that a glass of something sparkling might add a special note as we prepared dinner and talked.The truth is, my wife is not big on sparkling wines when it comes to everyday drinking, an attitude I've been trying to change over the years as my own appreciation of the wines as versatile food companions has grown. So the first little victory the other night was getting her to consent to my opening a bottle in the first place. (I felt I needed to ask because it was Mother'

In addition to roses this Mother’s Day, how about presenting Mom with a beautiful glass of rosé with the special meal you make for her?
