Summer Dinner paired with a California Rose

Considering the heat I did not want to make a hot meal for my daughters, we have dinner every Tuesday, so my choice was a nice cold soup. There are certain dietary restrictions that I must adhere to. My oldest daughter is a vegetarian, my middle daughter does not eat mushrooms, and my youngest daughter does not eat any type of beans. That really cuts down my choices, so I decided to make a cold cucumber soup. That being said as a wine person what wine would you serve with cucumber soup with fresh dill?

I though of maybe a Sauvignon Blanc, not enough flavor to stand up to the soup, and a Chardonnay is to rich and heavy on a hot day, My choice is a great rose from Bliss vineyards, it was the perfect match. Bliss rose has a great flavor profile with hints of raspberry in the nose, and bright strawberry fruit flavors. If you are in the neighbor hood  stop in and taste Bliss Rose .
