As we spend more time outside and the summery scents of barbecue and grilled dishes fill the air, it’s hard not to crave the food-friendly, versatile wines of the Southern Rhône. This week’s Tasting Highlights features eight reds, whites and rosés from the stalwart French region, which consistently produces wines of great value, variety and character. Consider that these are all priced $50 or less—with the majority under $25—and it’s easy to see why savvy wine lovers seek out Southern Rhône bottlings like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and Tavel.
