Summer 2020 is almost over. We know you probably spent most of it sipping on refreshing, summery beers and equally refreshing cocktails. Maybe you had a few glasses of wine. But, in honor of the impending end of the warm, sunny season, you should make more of an effort to drink some seasonal wine before it’s officially dark beer and whiskey season. And by seasonal we mean rosé and white wine.
And, since time is running out, we say your rally for the last gasp of summer should be rosé all day. And to help you out, we made a list of some of our favorite end of summer rosés and white wines. Check them all out below.

Clambake Limited Edition Rosé
This is not your average rosé. It’s a darker, bolder rosé that any man can muster the will to do some 5-ounce curls of. Or just sit in a comfortable chair and sip.
