Sun-soaked Provence – home of the celebrated destinations of St. Tropez and Cannes, and beloved retreat of Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Van Gogh – is also the birthplace of the world’s finest dry rosé wines. These elegant pinks, made from red grapes, are known for offering the body of a red wine with the crispness of a white. In France today, rosé is so loved that it outsells white wine. And in the U.S., it has been one of the fastest growing categories for six years running. Discover the dry pink!
Also worth seeking out are the outstanding reds (and some whites) of the sub-regions of Bandol, Cassis, Bellet and Pallette.

Getting an early start on my wine drinking...err, tasting, today. Whispering ... ... Angel 2011 (a cotes de provence rose), it's been a favorite of mine this spring but I think I'd like something a little brighter in light of the warm weather. I've had 3-4 bottles of this during the spring and I swear this one seems kind of different and more... Read More

A little bit of sour to finish off the fruit. Stored nicely after one day in the fridge. Just not my style...maybe better with food? Well blended. Read More

This is 2011 Pinot Noir from Vin de Pay d'Oc, France. Ruby color with a mid-rim variation. Fruit notes of plum and black cherries and plum with a hint of vanilla and all-spice. It has a long finish on the palette with slight crisp acidity. This young wine will mature over time (peak 2018-2021). Best served chilled to 60 degrees, and served with ... Read More

Fairly light burgundian pinot. Nice acidity but not a lot of flavor, spicy red cherries dominate with some subtle floral notes on the back end. About what I'd expect for this price. Read More

Unrelated, but I keep reading CdP as Côtes de Provence. Perhaps because I tend to abbreviate Chateauneuf du Pape as Ch9dP. I know, three extra characters...I saw some very big format bottles in Burgundy, up to 18L and perhaps beyond, I can't remember. I'd like an 18L bottle of a grand cru wine from a good producer & a good year. Not sure when I'... Read More
