Busy moms don’t always have a chance to sit back and chill, but when they do, shouldn’t they have a nice glass of wine in hand to help them decompress? We love Niagara’s Saintly Rosé, which is a fine excuse to have pink wine. With hints of berries, spice and everything nice, this bottle is on the dry side but has a nice juicy finish. Maybe you’ll want to buy two, just in case.
