Txicken and Txakoli..

Ameztoi’s “Rubentis” rosado is one of my favorite things about the arrival of summer. Spritzy, (yes that’s right it’s supposed to be that way) delicate and with just a whiff of wild strawberry, the Rubentis is so easy and fun to drink that I really have to pace myself. I usually stock up with a [...]

So many rosé wines, and so little time!  What does a lighter hue indicate? And what will that darker colored pink wine taste like? Making a fruity but balanced pink wine is no easy feat. In fact, many a winemaker will tell you that making rosé is more challenging than vinifying red or white wine. [...]

I interrupt my regularly scheduled HdR programming to let you all know that spring has officially sprung! Yes, indeed I believe that the winter rains are behind us once and for all. Here in the Bay Area, or Oakland, Ca to be more precise, everything’s a bloomin! Red, orange, green, violet..morning walks in my “urban” neighborhood of [...]

The World through Rose Colored Glasses; Pink Champagne!

Posted in in the cellar, tagged , on December 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

What would the world be like without rose Champagne? I am convinced that it would be a much sadder place indeed. Curiously, as long as Champagne bubbly has been around (several hundred years) in fact pink champagne was produced quite sparingly up until the late 1970’s. Case in point, Veuve Cliquot only made their first [...]
