Also had an end-of-summer picnic last weekend with a Malbec rosé from Trapiche that I think is even cheaper. Surprisingly good, dry drinking. South American pink wine is in good hands, in case anyone was wondering.

La Poussie satiates such a desire. When thinking pink, I yearn for levity not fatty fruits. La Poussie satiates such a desire.

I am currenty offering a 2007 Grenache Rose from Kaena Vineyards in Los Olivos. Kaena is the adjacent vineyard to Beckmans and Mikael Sigouin hops the fence to make Kaena's wines. This rose has body and character with great mid-weight and finish. Unfortunately, he only makes about 40 cases each season, mostly for his own enjoyment. We are very fortunate to have it on our list.

Sort of a no brainer, though, as pinots are my favorite varietal. Love trying all the different ones though. What a refreshing way to end the hot days of summer. Also my choice for fall.
