I didn't take a swipe at Bourbon for it's lack of complexity or diversity, I just don't like the flavor.....bad evening, bunch of booze mixed in a big cup as a teenager, Bourbon was the flavor that came back up, ewe. Now I just can't do it.

Ahem...<br /><br />Enjoy New York lovely and I am sure you will be able to find some lovely Roses to hold you through until you get home to those last 2 bottles!

Thanks for both?<br /><br />I'm so happy to drink rose, so much so that the 15 bottles you sent just a mint ago are now 2. Damn, I open the wine fridge and wonder who drank them all! <br /><br />I just settled into a NYC apartment for the next 5 days and this post has made me very thirsty - I think I better walk down the street and see if I can find some rosé and maybe some cured meat too...

I think that is perfect...<br /><br />Ron My Love,<br />So if I'm to read between the blurred lines here you are saying that for Christmas you would like to be sitting naked with me eating French Fries and drinking Roses? Well who am I to say no to a holiday wish? For you, anything. Oh and I agree with you on drinking Rose all year long, especially those of us in California (southern even more so) where our weather and foods are perfectly suited for year round Rose consumption. I love you! Oh and those fries, shoestring, steak, seasoned or do you just want them short and curly?Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-78075835182088098762013-07-26T09:07:46.280-07:002013-07-26T09:07:46.280-07:00My Gorgeous Samantha,

Leave it to the people making them to take them seriously, make something satisfying and delicious, and then just drink them with a smile on your face.<br /><br />The one thing I don't understand about Rose drinkers, however, is the idea that once the weather cools off they're not desirable any more. Rose with Thanksgiving dinner is damned nice. Or Christmas--it's even the right color for Christmas. You just have to have saved some. I guess that's the hard part.<br /><br />Lovely piece, Gorgeous.

Trying to think of the Oregon Roses I've had and I can only think of Caldwell right now and I have to confess, not my favorite. I had no idea you crazy cats were making some from Tempranillo!

I think rose has the ability to transcend rhetoric and be the perfect wine for its time and place over and over again. Let the fools drink $500 bottles of Screaming Asshole while you and I splurge for a world class rose costing $20.<br /><br />In the Willamette Valley, rose has become so popular and unprofitable that the best ones are made in lots of two or three hundred cases, sell for $15 to $20 per bottle, and are sold out by the 4th of July. <br /><br />We have one acre of tempranillo at the Illahe vineyard; we sell half and keep half, so two wineries can produce 100 cases of rose for $15 a bottle. Both were fantastic this Spring, and both are sold out already. I wish I had stashed a half dozen bottles, but I drank all mine already...well, maybe I still have one bottle stashed away :~)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849290999060380035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-7552184912608421452013-07-25T22:19:40.817-07:002013-07-25T22:19:40.817-07:00Gabe,

I love them more than most and I even had a very famous French winemaker tell me, "Well Samantha, I am pretty sure you, in your time here at The Wine Country, have had more Rose, than....anyone" and not to be all boasty or nuttin' but, I think he was right. I adore Rose but the one thing I want everyone to keep in mind, they are rarely profound, nor are they made to be. There are exceptions of course but people that get all wadded up over notes and critic reviews over Rose....well I think they are missing the fucking point. Period. Thanks for the comment young one!
