Prior to joining Good Housekeeping in 2016, Kate worked in television and held positions at Woman's Day and Real Simple magazines. Kate graduated first in her class at the Culinary Institute of America and has worked at Bayard's, a classic French restaurant in lower Manhattan and New York City's famed Gotham Bar and Grill.

Each year, her team tastes hundreds of food and drink products and conducts dozens of taste tests. The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen team is comprised of culinary experts, with Chief Food Director Kate Merker at the helm. We've got plenty of options to make sure what's in your glass feels great, no matter where you're drinking it. We also included a few canned varieties because hey, sometimes portability is key. Some of them come in both sparkling and still varieties, and others are all bubbles. Most of the rosé wines we like best tend toward the dry side, although each bottle has its own unique standout flavors and aromas. The best rosé wines we tested pair beautifully with everything from grilling recipes to fish to cheese platters, fruit and those big refreshing summer salads and come in a range of price points, too. Serve them lightly chilled for the most refreshing glass (or even in a homemade popsicle for a fun and creative presentation). The most popular rosé wines have the crispness of a white with a little of the same fruity character you love from your favorite red, although their individual flavor profile will depend on the grapes they're made from and the region where they grow. Rosé wines can vary widely in intensity and sweetness, and perfectly balanced varietals come from just about every wine region in the world. In collaboration with the Good Housekeeping Institute food team experts, we tasted and tested some of the best rosé wines on the market to help you find your perfect summer sipper. Pretty in pink rosé wine has just as much complexity and pairing power as your favorite velvety red or crisp dry white. Once it's open window season, you're probably also ready to trade earthy, tannic reds for lighter, more sprightly rosé wines.
