Nouveau Muse 2009 Rosato
In the last 2 months I’ve enjoyed four bottles of this particular Rosé – that’s how much I like it. I love serving this one to folks who say either “I don’t like Rosé,” or, “I don’t really drink wine.”
I recently poured this wine at a tasting for one of the networking groups I [...]

Cotes du Rhone Blanc Les Abeilles 2008
Jean Luc Colombo Cotes du Rhone Blanc Les Abeilles 2008
In keeping with my summertime experiment of finding whites to love, I recently tried this white Cotes du Rhone (France). I’ve had many, many a red Cotes du Rhone, but a white one? Never.
Like red Cotes du Rhones, white CDR’s [...]

I’ve been craving steak salad for weeks, and finally decided to get on with it and make one, fer cryin’ out loud. And I am very happy with the results.
This is another recipe that’s super easy to make, but will wow your guests. Now, I know I say that about most recipes I share with [...]

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Rosé
I recently wrote about the white version of this wine, and how excellent it is for summer time drinking. I’ve just had the Rosé, and I can say (emphatically), it is just as perfect for that job.
Remember, this wine is light, spritzy and fresh, with low alcohol, so it really is [...]

Le Catalan, Wilmington, NC
Because I am and have been a server off and on for a few years, when I get great service, it leaves an impression. (For example, I wrote about the great service my friends and I enjoyed at Circa 1922 back in January of this year from Bill. Bill was awesome.)
Recently some [...]

Chateau de Segries Tavel Rosé 2008, oh glorious Tavel Rosé!
I saved the best in our three-part Rosé series for last. This Rosé is a bit pricier than the previous two, but worth it, and I’ll tell you why.
Tavel is a wine region in France (part of the southern Rhone region across the Rhône River from Châteauneuf-du-Pape [...]

ut seriously folks, today’s Rosé choice is:
2008 Corbières Rosé Domaine Sainte-Eugénie
(I apologize endlessly for not having a pic of the actual wine for you — I do, in fact, have a pic of this wine, which I tried to upload for three straight days, using every format and size possible, but, no go. I am at my [...]

Seigneurs de Bergerac Rosé 2009
I’ve said many times here that Rosé can be a great bargain, because many people tend to lump it into the white zinfandel category and won’t try it, therefore it’s not an easy sell for wine retailers. This is good for you, smart wine shopper, because it means you can find [...]
