Dry French Rosés - These are wines that offer a lot for so little-- tropical fruit flavors that meld with minerality and overflowing sea salt, acidity and rounded palates filled with red fruits and spring fruits, apricot pits and peach skin as unconstrained florals and meshed fruit flesh filets flourish on the nose. Limons and Tiger Lilys and berries, oh my! These quench the thirst and cool the aether, pair with all types of foods or fly solo brilliantly. We know that you, dear reader, have enjoyed these wines throughout the last few years as we keep selling more and more of them. So, once again, good friends, we present the latest bounty of delicious, dry French Rosés, vintage 2012.

Our Wine of the Month is a terrific red blend from Portugal. First off, this is NOT a Port wine. That said, it is from the Dow family tree (Symington Family Estates), who are more than famous for their Port. The Vale Do Bomfim 2008 is clear evidence that their table wines retain both the quality and worth found in their cousins. Only 8.95!

Our Champagne focus is on two notable New Discoveries! One is a well crafted rose from Daniel Etienne and the other is a full-framed, but well-poised Champagne that offers a wealth to ponder and savor and one that gets our vote for the best Champagne value from the esteemed 2002 vintage.
