Here's a surprise: A tasty French rosé for about $10.
This rosé from Château de Montfaucon features a warm, dark pink color and scents of strawberry, raspberry and minerals. More dry and acidic than many rosés, the wine tastes of melon, mineral and slate.

Commanderie de la Bargemone Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rosé 2008
Color: Very pale pink
Scent: Honeydew and fresh berries
Taste: Bright summer fruit with slate undertones and a mineral finish. This tasty Rosé from La Commanderie de la Bargemone is food-friendly and just fruity and substantial enough to be great for making sangria.

Huber Terrassen Riesling 2006
Like some of your favorite friends, Rieslings can have more than one personality - just not in the same bottle. Some are sweeter (especially German), others are drier. It's all about the grape and maturation, aging, blah blah...
But anyway, back to the wine. Huber Winery of Austria produces a lovely dry style in its Terrassen Riesling. It has a pale, warm yellow color and scents of citrus, mineral, and a hint of peach. On the palate, expect bright acidity up front followed by lemony citrus and a mineral finish.
It's a tasty number that should pair well with citrus-marinated seafood and white wine-based pasta dishes.
