Anyone have any good Rosé recently?

Easily my favorite wine to drink during the summer, in addition to Sauvignon Blanc.
Crios makes a pretty decent Rose of Malbec for like $9.00, but it can sometimes be a little too tart.
I also enjoyed a Rose of Pinot Noir from Toad Hollow in Sonoma. I tend to go for the lighter Roses, the ones with an almost pinkish/orangish hue.

Yes. My choice for a summer wine.
Gonna crack one I've got chilling as soon as I get home. I'll relay the bottle.

Like every one of the 15 that I had in France? Go find that thread. It has two good ones in it.
Crios is good.
Oregon makes good Roses too. Elk Cove to be specific is a really good one that I've had.

I need to start taking pictures of labels on my phone. Had a few bottles with friends at Mariza last weekend, then bought two from Whole Foods. Can't remember any of them

There's an app for that.

There was an article in this weekend's WSJ all about the growth of Rose in the US. Shame. Want it for myself.

I read that one too. Loved how she kept taking jabs at people who have to have a rose from Provence.

RC brother, go over to Keife & Co. and talk to Jim or John. tell them what you're looking for in a rose and what price point you want and they'll take care of you. that's pretty much the only way I buy wine now. there or @ Pearl Wine Co. both places have top notch owners and staff who are very knowledgable and very helpful.

Yeah, they have a great Rose selection.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 4:26 pm to Rohan2Reed
I've only been in there once, but it was a pleasant experience. I may stop on the way home from work if this rain holds off.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 4:27 pm to Rickety Cricket
Whispering Angel. About $20.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 5:29 pm to taurusjwf
La Spinetta makes a great, dry, rose. Can get it at Faubourg Wines in the Bywater - around $16.

All those stores are great. Carte de vin is another. They have a larger rose' section then Keife.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 7:59 pm to Oenophile Brah
Went to Keife, picked up a 2013 Domaine de Figueirasse Gris de Gris Rosé, 2013 chateau de Campuget Rosé Rhone, and a 2012 Bricard Saint-Bris Sauvignon.
Currently enjoying the Sauvignon with a tomato and arugula salad. Should be a good night.
