was almost killed by that horrible stuff. Only in the last few years is bone dry rose' making a comeback. I poured 3 last night at our weekly tasting. 2 french, 1 washington.
In the summer it's routinely in the upper 90's here...hard to think about drinking big Syrahs and Cabs until the sun goes down.
I plan on making 2 barrels of Rose' this fall...going to use Cab Franc....yum

...with the popularity of Rose' as a summer wine these days, and even Robert Parker rating some in a recent Business Week, I decided to round some up and do some tasting.
Of the half dozen I tried (I couldn't find any of Parker's), most were average - on the level of a good white zin - but this one stands out:
Mas Grand Plagniol (big letters), Costieres de Nimes (small letters) the growing region, I think, for $9.99.
- Parker on Rose' (Open in New Window)
