Rosè of the day Tuesday April 16, 2013



Robert Sinskey Vin Gris Rosè 2012

Varietal: pinot Noir

Price: $32.99/$356.00 (very limited)

Tasting Notes: Dry, crisp and pure the Vin Gris is a perfect accompaniment to food. This is a "cult" rose if you are ever going to find one. Stunningly beautiful to the eye with a gem-like glimmer, this whole cluster pressed rosé of Pinot Noir exhibits delicate purity. Aromas of pear and wild strawberry dance from the glass as complex flavors of mineral and herb co-mingle with a vibrant mouth-feel—an absolutely refreshing experience!

Region: USA, California, Napa Valley

Menu:  This Vin Gris of Pinot Noir is an incredibly versatile wine to pair with food as it can stand up to the more extreme of ethnic cuisines—Asian, Mexican and Indian—yet it is completely comfortable with a simple sandwich or classic French bistro fare.

 Yesterday's answer: The DMZ Rosè was taken with a picture of the store's original owner and it's namesake Harry Pollack. The picture is in our California room and pays homage to our past. When we showed the picture to Saul he said "I'm not sure my dad knew what Rosè was, but Im sure he would approve." If you know an answer post it here or on our Facebook page.
