Rosé is the underdog of the wine world.

Wine lovers who enjoy sitting down with a full-bodied glass of red have a hard time taking something pink seriously. But rosé is moving up fast, powered by rising quality and an inherent food-friendliness.
With the warm days of summer just around the corner, there's no time like the present to enjoy rosé's fresh, fruity pleasures.

Rosés can show lovely cherry, melon and berry flavors, backed by a hint of depth and tannins as well as refreshing acidity. Both Rhône and Provençal rosés typically rely on the same cadre of grapes—Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, etc.—but there are some differences between the two.

Rhône rosés are typically darker in color, carry slightly higher alcohol and offer ebullient flavors of ripe watermelon, cherry and tobacco.

Provençal rosés tend to take a more graceful tack, with copper and salmon-hued tones and lighter notes of dried fruit, incense and tea. Rosés match well with lighter summer fare—poached salmon, salads with warm goat cheese-topped croutons or herb-roasted chicken.

Just remember to serve well chilled, and then ... relax.

A new container of wines from Importer Robert Kacher has just hit carrying the 2008 vintage Rosé and we invite to join us on Saturday, May 30th at our Greenville Avenue store (5757 Greenville Avenue) for a tasting of the new arrivals.

To RSVP for this free tasting please contact David Waddington at [masked] or [masked].
