QOTD: I’ve found a couple of Rose wines that are pretty good. Fort Ross Rose of Pinot Noir was good. Rose wines don’t tend to be my favorite profile, though. They tend to be a little tight on the nose and a bit unfocused on the palate for me. Maybe I just haven’t had a really good one yet. I try to have one Rose at the table every Thanksgiving, though, just to keep trying. Dry rose does tend to complement turkey nicely.

Phew, 1-4. I was sure it was going to be a 0-4 day, and well all know how depressed you get when its an 0 fer day. QOTD: Nothing is holding me back. Ive had some rose wine, but Im obsessed with the sweet stuff. I have a few reds, though. But damn my sweet tooth.

Le printemps means “spring” not “summer.”

A recent summer trip to Paris converted me. I really dig RosÃ© now, if I’m in the mood for a refreshing, crisp treat.

It’s tough. My husband doesn’t love the stuff, so it’s hard to sneak it in. However, I’m always expecting great things from rose and they never seem to deliver. Good example is the first wine tasted…had that a few times, gross. Also, I find the roses have these watery, flabby, flat, sad finishes. It’s like, can you give me some more? Please?! Going to seek out the last rose. Here’s hoping!

I have tried a few Rose wines from Europe and the U.S. and I just don’t get the rose craze.

Hmmm, I’d almost be tempted to try a rose. I guess I still have some crappy pre-conceived notion that prevents me from actually taking that first step and buying a bottle.

I noticed the Guigal Cotes du Rhone in the store today, and picked it up. I’m just starting to think about developing my palate, and so I *had* to know if that ‘deadly-chemical’ thing GV mentions would come through for me.

In a word, yeah. Yeah, it did. But I’m learning something, and that makes it kinda worth it! Not really, but kinda.
