Chateau Valcombe Epicure ~ Ventoux, France

A pale, almost orange hued rosé with delicious flavors of classic watermelon, faint strawberry, mouthwatering herbaciousness and traces of citrus-like zest.  Early on, there is a hint of banana on the nose and it burns off quickly.  Easily pairs with seared red snapper simmered in ginger garlic lime broth and red pepper flakes.

$18.75

Domaine La Manarine ~ Cotes du Rhone, France 

Dried strawberry goodness on the nose and palate.  The color is vibrantly pink bordering on a light red. The texture is a little creamy and the fruit really settles nicely in the mouth.  A summertime favorite sitting out on the porch with fresh fruits from

the farmer's market.

$18.00

Rosa di Montacuto ~ Marche, Italy 

Such a stunning color. Unlike any other Rose I've seen.  In truth, the color is deep translucent red.  You really have to struggle to find the pink in this wine.  But in the mouth, the flavors all come together with that wonderful zippy and fresh mouthfeel.  More terroir driven than most of our other rosés, there is even a little earth hiding under the watermelon, strawberry, black cherry and floral tones.  Delicious with sliced roma tomatoes and sea salt on bread with a little Robiola smeared in.

$20.50
