Château Guiot Costières de Nîmes 2002

This rose is ideal for a warm summer evening...dry, crisp, and fresh. A beautiful deep salmon in color, it has ample strawberries and cherries up front, and a clean, juicy acidity from start to finish. Paired very nicely with grilled Italian sausages one night and turkey burgers the next. About $9.

Forgot to mention that this is a blend of grenache and syrah.

I love rose in the summer. Such a nice burger wine.

JohnG, tell me that you had two bottles, and not that you saved one bottle to last two nights...it'll make me feel better.

Alas, it was but one bottle. We'd had a cookout the first night and offered a couple of different wines as well as beer. About a glass and half of the Chateau Guiot remained, which I happily finished off the next night.

I plan to keep a couple of bottles on hand, though, for occasions when pink wine is called for.

OK, I feel better with that explanation--my one bottle a day has been questioned by some friends, who think it excessive; all I could say to them was--nuts to you...

I managed to drink a whole botttle of Moscat D'Asti last night. Somehow I just kept refilling that pretty crystal flute and watching those bubbles...only 5.5% alcohol so I didn't get looped.
