Stopped by this morning to pick up my Rosé and Duncan was kind enough to give me a brief tour of the new digs. Nice place, nice people, good wine… Since it’s a nice sunny day (and since Grafstrom was wanting to hear about it ) today I figured I’d try one out when I got home from work. Winning!

Pop n pour. Nose of watermelon, citrus zest, nectarine and crushed stones. Nice weight to it. Has a mouth coating texture, pure fresh fruit and tangy acidity. Very refreshing wine that I can see being a great spring/summer pairing. Press # to reorder!
Yep, they’re around the back. Lots of parking for events, big patio and planted area to mingle. Though I miss them leaving Forestville this is a nice upgrade.

This wine just continues to bring it. Great pairing with Mango Salsa on a warm 4th of July. The aromatics jump from the glass and the creamy strawberry, watermelon and nectarine on the palate combined with bright acidity make it a pleasurable drink. Nudges out the '11 Ode to Lulu as my Rosé of the Year. Raised lots of eyebrows around the table.
