Are you a ros\u00e9 fan? Do you look forward to all the new releases in the spring? Many of us are drinking copious amounts of ros\u00e9 (I know I am!) so of course, it seems that everyone wants to make ros\u00e9. But with more and more of the pink stuff flooding the market, it\u2019s hard to know what to even drink these days. This is particularly true when for many, the model is the pale pink juice of Provence. The paler, the better they say. Of course, this has led to a continuous increase of uninspiring ros\u00e9 wines on the market. Copycats, imposters, or whatever else you want to call them, they imitate but don\u2019t duplicate. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I love and enjoy Proven\u00e7al ros\u00e9. It\u2019s what they do well. I don\u2019t love all of them, but I do buy my fair share because when they\u2019re good, they are GOOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as much as I enjoy the pale pinks from the South of France, I also struggle with \u2018sameness\u2019 in wine. There\u2019s just so much more to ros\u00e9. Sometimes I want more body and riper fruit in my ros\u00e9. Sometimes I want a little tannin. This is particularly the case when I\u2019m at the grill with smoky, Texas BBQ on my mind. So what\u2019s a girl to do? Turn to the U S of A, of course! American producers are certainly doing their thing with ros\u00e9 in their own way. And I\u2019m here for it. I don\u2019t want you to try to be Provence. I want you to be the best version of yourself and do what you do best – American ros\u00e9!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucky for me, Mr. Corkscrew will drink pink whenever I pop open some. So between what I purchase and what\u2019s sent to me to sample, I have a pretty good base of American ros\u00e9 from which to choose. So here\u2019s goes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
When I\u2019m thinking lighter bodied, I often look for a Pinot Noir ros\u00e9. As Pinot Noir is my first wine love, it\u2019s not all that surprising that I enjoy many of these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
