Ummm Rosé Season came hard

There’s a certain kind of light that shows up when the weather turns—soft, a little golden, like the day is finally willing to linger. And somehow it always ends the same way: standing in front of a glass-door fridge, staring at rows of rosé like it’s a small, pink promise.

Ummm Rosé Season came hard.

The bottles line up neatly behind the cold glass, labels facing forward, blush tones stacked in gradients from pale peach to deeper strawberry. It feels almost ceremonial, like the store is quietly acknowledging a shift: the heavy reds step back, and something brighter takes the front.

I like the way a chilled case hums—steady, practical—while the colors inside look like summer trying to break through. It’s simple, but it carries that familiar feeling of seasons changing: a little anticipation, a little relief. The same world, just edited by temperature and light.

Maybe that’s the whole point of rosé season. Not the drink itself, exactly, but the permission it gives. To sit outside longer. To eat slower. To let an ordinary evening feel like it has edges worth remembering.

So yes—came hard. And honestly, I’m not mad about it.
