Rose....not sweet and people are getting it!

Yes we all know that White Zinfandel ruined it for a while for California Rose's. A true, international dry style Rose is delicate, gorgeous rose-petal nose, with the hints of fruit and light acidity simply "floating" away off the finish. Some of my favorites are from the south of Rhone, Cotes de Provence. Primarily Grenache or Cinsault based, these are lightly "salmon" colored and just delicious. Their fruit is not overwhelming but teasing, acidiy is just right for a summer day. I know of these fantastic wines if you would like to know, just ask! Many under $18 as well.
