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.

You wouldn't like the one I had last night. It was definitely darker.

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

Not really a fan.


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.

I am a huge fan of Rosé, even more so during the summer.

Here is a link to the WSJ article from last weekend.

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.

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.

La Spinetta makes a great, dry, rose. Can get it at Faubourg Wines in the Bywater - around $16.

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.
