We have become such rose´ / rosado freaks this year. I think we’ve been through 2 cases of chilled summer goodness by now. We’ve tried it from every part of the world we can get our hands on…Argentina, Spain, France, Portugal, New Zealand and California. The latter provides us this new release from Foppiano Vineyards just outside of Healdsburg in Sonoma. They are masters / mistresses of the petite sirah – truthfully, no one better in the valley. This blend with pinot noir was slightly sweet with a crisp apple finish. We got a bottle in our wine club shipment this month, but I recall that they will release it to the public next month. – J F Grossen, Chief Executive Oenophile (CEO)

“I just don’t see Big Wine allowing labels on wine reading something like this: This wine was dealcoholized by reverse osmosis and smoothed out with micro-oxygenation. Ingredients: Water, alcohol, grapes, chestnut tannin, oak extract, oak dust, genetically modified yeast, urea, enzymes, grape juice, tartaric acid, bentonite, and Velcorin.” – Alice Feiring, The Battle for Wine and Love or How I Saved the World from Parkerization
