L’Ostal Cazes Rosé, 2014: This wallet-friendly Provencal poolside sipper is as crisp and dry as a Gap Oxford shirt (tied at the waist and paired with denim shorts of course). L’Ostal Cazes Rosé, $15 at www.bcliquorstores.com; Fitted Boyfriend Oxford Shirt, $50 at www.gap.com
Little Farm Winery Rosé, 2013: Bringing much refinement and elegance to organically farmed B.C. rosé, we’ll be wearing super-chic short overalls from Aritzia when we drink it. Little Farm Winery Rosé, $25 at littlefarmwinery.ca; Azure Skies Senryu Romper, $70 at aritzia.com
Township 7 Rosé, 2014: With a hit of Okanagan cherry and floral notes, this celebratory wine calls for a skirt full enough to twirl in, like this one from ASOS. It might even make us blush. Township 7 Rosé, $17 at www.township7.com; Pleated Midi Skirt, $65 at www.asos.com
Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series Rosé, 2013: With its watermelon colour and berry aromatics, this bright and cheerful wine is ripe for the picnic basket.
