Let's see how we can get that going. Thanks Ruarri, the weather is perfect here in Paris. It's making it hard to leave, but the Hamptons I imagine will be enjoyable weather as well.

Its always interesting to see how very characteristic reds stand up to blush - and one can often understand a red better, if one samples the variety as a blush wine, as all the tannins are removed, but some fundamentail characteristics remain the same (for instance Pinotage Rose, which keeps the lush fruitiness of Pinotage in blush form - but when served ice-cold, makes Pinotage accessible in the summer.) It sometimes take making a mistake to stumble upon good fortune... I think that Rose has a ways to go in the US - but perhaps you could change that in the Hamptons over the summer! Enjoy your last weeks in Paris! too true Meghan – White Zinfandel has done for blush wines, what Paris Hilton has done for ‘Paris’ – in that its made something trashy and tasteless synonymous for one which in reality is refined and elegant.
