New Rosés

Perfect Wines for Summer
Wine importer Bobby Kacher really has it down when it comes to rosé. Yeah, were talking about the pink stuff. This is different than your garden variety white zinfandel. Seriously folks. Kacher's rosé selections come from select vineyards and are made by cutting-edge winemakers. Kacher has them pick several weeks earlier than they normally would which gives the wines more natural, balancing acidity and a seemingly perfect balance. We just received a shipment from Bobby of the freshly bottled 2008 vintage. We love them, you will too.

2008 Chateau Guiot Rosé
On Sale $8.99
"We love this darkly-colored rosé from the Costieres de Nimes. This underrated region continues to produces some amazing wine bargains. This is an aromatic, bold, dry rosé that really jumps from the glass. It's richly scented and complex and offers gobs of ripe fruit on the palate with a silky, refreshing finish. Delish."
-John Nash, The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

2008 Domaine St. Eugenie Corbieres Rosé
On Sale $9.99
"This is another knockout, dry rosé from Kacher. This one's produced from Cinsault and Syrah grapes and offers a bright, pink color. The nose is all red fruits with a tasty combo of ripe cherry and wild strawberry notes. On the palate is where this wine really shines with a seemingly perfect combination of silky, ripe fruit, mineral tones and refreshing, natural acidity. This is a winner and a steal at ten bucks."
-John Nash, The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

2008 Grande Cassagne Costieres de Nimes Rosé
On Sale $10.99
"Here's a perennial favorite at The Merch. Grande Cassagne's rosé seems to always offer a combination of complexity and refreshment. It's damn tasty in this vintage and is just bursting with fresh fruit both in the nose and on the palate. Try it. You'll like it."
-John Nash, The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

So true, you cannot beat a rose'during the summer months. I used to decline to 'drink pink" until Tom persueded/badgered me to try. WOW
