David Keck was probably the first person to open a beer-and-whiskey-fueled honky-tonk after conquering the so-called "world's toughest test" to become a Master Sommelier.

Now, as Goodnight Charlie's continues to boot-scoot in Montrose, Keck and business partners Peter McCarthy and chef Felipe Riccio are expanding with three wine-savvy concepts next door: a 28-seat, Mediterrannean-tilted fine-dining restaurant called March; Rosie Cannonball, a casual bistro with wood-fired pizzas and wine by cutting-edge producers; and a retail shop, Montrose Cheese and Wine. All are set to open in early 2019.

Until then, we uncorked a little Master Somm expertise to whet your palate. Here are three easy-drinking rosés Keck recommends for summer, all available at Houston Wine Merchant.

Cleto Chiarli Brut de Noir Rosé NV ($15)

"This rosé comes from a fantastic Lambrusco producer that makes well-made, not-sickly-sweet sparkling wines built to pair with prosciutto and pastas and pretty much everything else. This is not officially Lambrusco, rather a Brut Rosé made with Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) and Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro. It's sparkling, dry and 100 percent chuggable."

Broc Cellars 'Love' Rosé 2017 ($20)

"Chris Brockway makes wine in California using as little intervention in the vineyard and winery as possible to produce clean, vibrant wines with a very high deliciousness factor. This rosé is made mostly with Valdiguié (sometimes called Napa Gamay), and it is juicy, low-alcohol and built to drink by the pool or with salads and shellfish."

Château Peyrassol 'Commanderie de Peyrassol' Côtes de Provence Rosé 2017 ($25)

"Provence is the source of much of the world's rosé. It is also a massive region with varying levels of quality in the wines, so it's important to be discerning. This is truly one of the great options, from a very well-respected producer in the inland hills of the Var - well balanced with fruit, acidity and enough weight to pair nicely with food."
