Your Host is Harry's Len Gulino (The Wine Tutor) who will pour a selection of 2012 Rose Wines.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer and if not for all of this crazy weather we would be running around in our shorts and T's preparing for Picnics or a weekend on the beach.
Mother Nature has decided that 40-50 degree weather and rain is a better idea today so you'll have to put off the lawn mowing and use your imagination a bit as we sip our Rosé with Len.
the good news is that all of the weather reprorts are indicating that this will break up sometime tomorrow and Monday will indeed give us a great day for a parade and your party plans need not be changed.
The lawn? Looks like late tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Today will be better spent shopping for supplies.
Miraval - Provence $21.99
Refined and elegant, offering pure and concentrated flavors of dried red berry, tangerine and melon. The focused finish features flint and spice notes, with a hint of cream. Wine Spectator, 90 pts (This wine was grown and produced by a professional winemaker of the French Perrin family at the Provencal estate (Chateau Miraval) of Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie.)
Ponzi - Oregon $22.99
A nose of rose petal, vanilla and watermelon salt water taffy precede a palate of pink grapefruit, guava and citrus framed by juicy acidity and bright finish.

| Luisa Ponzi was in earlier in the week as we noted on our Facebook page. She is the owner/Winemaker at Ponzi and walked us through her portfolio (a terrific opportunity) she was also nice enough to sign a dozen bottles of her Rosé. Those bottles are available at the tasting today, first come first serve. |
Reciente - Rioja $13.99
The wine immediately gives off notes of raspberry, cherry and freshly picked strawberries with lots of red berry flavors on the palate.
Wolffer - Long Island $16.99
A beautiful pale copper-salmon color with subtle hints of herbs and briary strawberry. On the palate strawberry and raspberry notes emerge.
