So we sat down with this French Rose from Domaine du Poujol last week and it was really really delightful. This is the last of three (different) bottles we bought from Kermit Lynch in Berkeley. Pink wines don’t get as much love as they deserve. I know this is especially true for sparkling rose’, which is a shame, because their are a few great one’s out there. Their is common perception that pink wines are all sweet. I blame Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill and Bartles & Jaymes for this. Their overly sugared alcohol infused juice really gave many Americans the perception that most pink wine’s are overly sweet. Also, their are a number of wineries in California that produce a semi-sweet “Blush”. To battle these pre-concieved notions, you should pick up a bottle of French rose from time to time. it can really surprise you. It helps if you have an 80+ degree day a nice BBQ to attend. I want to know what was the last pink wine you tried?

We are going to be in the Languedoc region mostly – and we’d like to get down to Barcelona at least once. And we are debating between renting a station wagon or a MPV/people carrier – their version of a minivan. I’ve got a couple of quotes that are good for a few more days – through Novacarhire, with the actual car coming from Europcar. So any recommendations or advice would be most welcome! Thanks in advance!
Just wanted to say I appricate the post. You have really put a lot of time into your posts and it is just great!
