Tanji’s Wine Finds for Mom

Give Mom what she really wants this Mother’s Day. No, not roses—ROSÉ! She can channel her inner reality star with Vanderpump Rosé ($20) from former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump. Don’t be fooled by the celebrity name: this is an easy-drinking Rosé from Provence with a crisp, dry finish and just the right amount of fruity undertones of red currants and sweet citrus. Buy it at your local H-E-B HERE.
