Rosé-o-Rama
Summer's here baby. Pink wine is in too, at least at my humble abode. We love rosé wines especially the French examples. Don't let that color fool you. These examples are not the sweet, cheap wines from... er, California. You won't find Sutter Home on these labels. These are cool and sophisticated wines, crisp and aromatically interesting. Captivating. Hip even. Serve one as an aperitif at your next dinner party with some lively local goat cheese (we like Missouri's Goatsbeard Farm) or even with your main course of whole grilled fish (please remember Bob's Seafood on Delmar... Best Fish in town). You'll impress your friends with your worldly knowledge and good taste...
2008 Chateau Guiot Rosé
On Sale $9.99
"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."

2008 Grande Cassagne Costieres de Nimes Rosé
On Sale $9.99
"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.
2008 Domaine St. Eugenie Corbieres Rosé
On Sale $10.99
"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 or so..."

2008 Fontsainte Corbieres Rosé
On Sale $12.99
"This is a tasty, snappy, dry rosé from importer Kermit Lynch. The color pops and the nose of the wine does too. It's oh-so-fresh on the palate with a finish that you'll love. We're tasting this wine on Friday of this week. Stop by and check it out before you grab a few bottles for your personal stash."
